Call for Submissions

 “(Re)union”

Philadelphia, PA   

April 7 to 9, 2022

The Interpersonal Communication Interest Group invites paper and panel submissions for ECA's 113th Annual Convention to be held at TBD from TBD, 2022. This year’s convention theme is “(Re)union”, and we look forward to an in-person convention that enables us to reflect and reconnect.

ECA utilizes Attendee Interactive to manage submissions and reviews. An email will be sent to all ECA members with a link to the submission site in the coming weeks (NOTE: This link is also available on the ECA website – www.ecasite.org).  To submit your work, you will be prompted to login using ECA-specific credentials or prompted to create a new account (NOTE: Your login credentials are unique to ECA – you may not use credentials you may have created for other associations, such as NCA, that uses Attendee Interactive).

Panel Proposals - Guidelines:

In addition to traditional panel submissions in which three to four speakers present individual papers on a specific topic area, consider submitting panels that are unique in composition and format. For instance, you might consider proposing a workshop session led by two or three experts on a particular topic with audience involvement and participation. You might also consider submitting a round table discussion featuring 5-8 presenters who share their positions on a focused topic moderated by a chair.

Submissions of panel/program proposals must include the following elements saved in a PDF file:

  4. Submit program copy (no more than a 75-word description) as it should appear in the final program.
  5. Include a detailed rationale for the program/panel.
  6. Titles and abstracts for each speaker’s contribution (if applicable)

In submitting the attached paper or proposal, I/We recognize that this submission is considered a professional responsibility. I/We agree to present this panel or paper if it is accepted and programmed. I/We further recognize that all who attend and present at ECA’s annual meeting must register and pay required fees.
