MAC Chicago 2023: Call for Proposals

The Program Committee invites session proposals for the 2023 Annual Meeting touching on the theme "Dig Deep." We're harnessing Chicago's distinction as the birthplace of deep dish pizza to consider layers of archival meaning. Are there times you've had to dig deep to slice up new approaches, deliver creative solutions, or toss around new ideas? What are some of the professional, environmental, social, and cultural ingredients that we've baked into our profession, our collections, our patrons, and ourselves?

The Program Committee encourages submissions from newer professionals and members of underrepresented groups. Membership is not required. Presenters may submit more than one proposal, but may present only one session OR poster.

Looking for more cheesy inspiration? Check out the Call for Proposals website for a list of possible topics. The deadline for submitting proposals is Monday, September 5 at 5pm CDT.

Have an idea for a proposal but no one to present with? Connect with colleagues on the MAC 2023 Brainstorming form!
