ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES FOR PRESENTERS:

Presenters are encouraged to provide a safe and accessible presentation for all attendees. Contact Conference Coordinator at prinfo@hawaii.edu for additional assistance. 

REGISTRATION REQUIRED FOR PRESENTERS: 

All accepted presenters are required to register for the conference within three weeks of the official invitation letter delivery. If in-person activities are made available, all presenters are responsible for securing and paying for travel, lodging, and arranging all personal childcare responsibilities. Pac Rim will not cover any additional costs such as online tools, assessments, books, or other presentation materials. 

PRESENTER COMMITMENT TO PARTICIPATE: 

As a professional courtesy, presenters are asked to honor a Commitment to Participate as conference attendees by attending other conference presentation sessions. This commitment celebrates a positive, interactive environment and promotes networks to mobile together for meaningful action. If you need acceptance to present a letter to obtain a visa, you should plan to submit in the earlier rounds. In order to obtain a visa letter, please contact the registration team at prreg@hawaii.edu once you’ve received your Pac Rim 2023 acceptance to present letter.    

PROPOSAL CANCELLATION POLICY: 

A proposal or presentation can be canceled in your online account. In consideration for the many volunteer hours by the volunteer strand leads, volunteer topic chairs and volunteer reviewers, a cancellation should be completed as early as possible. In addition, an early cancellation will provide an opportunity for other authors that are on the waitlist.

REVIEW TIMELINE: 

The call for proposals process will have two review cycles and deadlines:

• Oct 1, 2022 HST [due] and Oct 28, 2023 Results [accept, accepts with revisions, decline]
• Dec 1, 2022 HST [due] and Jan 2, 2023 Results [accept, accepts with revisions, decline]

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS: 

In order to publish in the conference proceedings, all authors must present at Pac Rim 2023. The conference proceedings are published in the Review of Disability Studies: An International Journal. As thus, the publication process will be processed through the journal’s online management system.
