CALL FOR 2023 CONFERENCE THEME PROPOSALS

Are you interested in chairing a future ARF conference? The ARF Board is looking for themes for 2023 and beyond. Consider submitting a proposal for a future conference theme using our proposal template (with a sample model attached).

The ARF board hopes to begin review of these for our 2023 conference at our summer meeting, so those submitted prior to May 31st will be given priority. However, we will continue to accept proposals for the 2023 conference through July 31st. Please submit proposals or ask questions to Amy Broemmel at broemmel@utk.edu.
