PRESENT AND STAND AS A LEADER

Join other prestigious presenters, share your work and lead the conversation in the community to make an inclusive world.  Not only do presenters get to connect with an audience and build credibility, but they receive a discounted attendee registration, listing on the Conference website and in the Session Guide, and published if presenting on the Journal Track.  Pre-Conference Workshop presenters receive additional compensation for their efforts.  There are many options for presenting at the CSUN AT Conference, so start your submission today!

The General Call for Presentations opens next week on Thursday, September 8.  Get ahead and start preparing your presentation ideas. Learn more about the submission process and get handy tips for presenting at the 2023 Conference.

Don’t forget that the Journal Call for Papers is currently open and accepting submissions until it concludes on Tuesday, September 6, at 3:00 pm (PDT).  The Journal Track is your opportunity to bring attention to your scientific research and have it published!  In case you didn’t know, each year, the Dr. Arthur I. Karshmer Award for Assistive Technology Research is awarded to the best submission to the Journal Track.  Submit your paper now before the deadline!

We are also currently accepting Proposals for Pre-Conference Workshops through September 27.  Showcase your knowledge and lead workshops providing attendees professional development through in-depth training and skill-building.
