Professional Service / Affiliated Meetings Requests

To arrange informal meetings for those who wish to get together to discuss particular topics related to applied linguistics, please complete this form and send it to the AAAL 2021 Conference Chair at conference@aaal.org. Such meetings include editorial board meetings, networking meetings hosted by related organizations, and other networking opportunities. Meeting space is made available only to organizations whose work is related to the mission of AAAL. Requests for meetings will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis, and only if the time and space is available without cost to AAAL. Please submit these requests no later than 11:59 p.m. on December 17, 2020 (EDT; UTC-4). The AAAL conference organizers will not be able to make changes at the last minute. Please complete and attach this form to your email. Be sure to include the answers to the following eleven questions:

What is the full name of your organization (and its acronym, if any)?

What is the URL for the organization’s website?

What is/are the name(s) and the email address(es) for the organizer(s)?

Is this meeting open to all AAAL conference attendees?

(If the meeting is not open to members, there will be no description of the meeting in the conference program and publicizing the meeting is entirely the responsibility of the meeting organizer[s].)

Select or enter value

If this meeting is open to all AAAL conference attendees, please provide a brief description that can be included in the conference program.

Fifty words is the absolute maximum.

How many people do you expect to attend this meeting? How will it be conducted? E.g., by a Zoom-meeting hosted by your group (with a link)? Will the session be asyncrononous (prerecorded) or a combination of asynchronous and synchronous (live) or just the latter? How will participation and interaction be managed, and how will Zoom security be managed? How will participants be contacted or invited to attend? (Pls note that AAAL does not have the capacity to assist with any technical aspects of such events other than including a description and, if open, link in the program.)

Do you have a preference for a particular day of the conference or time slot for your meeting using US Eastern Daylight time as the reference point?

Please note that we cannot promise to give you your first choice of either day or time. We work these events so that they do not conflict with key events during the Conference.
