Innovative Panels typically consist of short panel presentations and audience discussions about a particularly timely or controversial subject with a moderator to facilitate the dialogue. At past conventions, innovative panels have included town halls, debates, simulations, or panels that require unique technical support or room set-up. For a detailed list of innovative panels at past ISA Conventions, please see the following link http://www.isanet.org/meetings/specialty-panel-archive.html. The deadline for innovative panel proposals for the 2010 ISA Convention is May 15, 2011. Those interested in proposing an Innovative Panel need to submit the INNOVATIVE PANEL PROPOSAL FORM<http://www.isanet.org/annual_convention/ip-proposal-form.html> by this date. Working Groups provide a forum for 20-25 participants to meet on several occasions throughout the conference around a particular substantive area. Several sections have led Working Groups at past ISA conventions, including ALIAS, HR, ES, FTGS, IPS, and Diplomatic Studies. Results from a recent survey conducted by ISA Hdqs.suggest high participant satisfaction with Working Groups. To see further details about Working Groups, please visit http://www.isanet.org/annual_convention/specialty.html#wg.The deadline for working group proposals for the 2012 ISA Convention is June 16, 2011. Those interested in proposing a Working Group need to submit the WORKING GROUP PROPOSAL FORM<http://www.isanet.org/annual_convention/wg-proposal-form.html> by this date. We are pleased to share these opportunities with you to help further develop your section and provide a richer professional and personal experience for our members.
