Submission Deadline
Extended to August 15th
Please note that the 2020 FEA/ABE Conference will not be held in Louisville KY.
Instead, we will host a virtual environment for everyone. We will need
volunteers to coordinate presentation sessions and that call will be
forthcoming. The Virtual Conference will be held September 17-19, 2020.
There will be a few more calls before the deadline.
Submissions to the 2020 Conference are done electronically through a Google Form, online. You must have a Google account to submit the form. You may also send items as email attachments as in the past (see below), but we encourage you to use the Google process if you can as it makes the task much easier for our volunteers. Full instructions are provided at the link - the text below the link only applies to submissions made manually.

Manual Submission Instructions
You may submit either an abstract or a completed paper/case/proposal. Neither type offers a greater chance of making the program. With abstracts take care to adequately describe what you are proposing to present. Abstracts which are too brief or without substance make it difficult for the program committee to assess the appropriateness or fit of the proposal.
A workshop session is a presentation of some innovation, techniques or methods that would be useful to others in our profession. A panel session sets up a pre-established group to present various topics around a theme followed by a discussion, and a roundtable is usually led by one or more moderators but is more of an open discussion of topics among session attendees.
NOTE: All submission forms and attachments MUST be sent in MS Word format
(either *.doc or *.docx)
For Workshop, Panel Discussion and Roundtable Proposals: Simply email a 1- or 2-page description of your proposed session including possible participants, as best you might know at time of submission - also include the copy of the completed Workshop/Panel Form found on the website. On the Subject line of your email submission, please put "FEA-ABE Conference Workshop Proposal."
For Paper and Case Presentations: Attach your Abstract/Paper proposal in MS Word format (*.doc or *.docx) to an email. No other formats will be reviewed, accepted or returned.
To be considered, for non-Google submissions there must be a separate title page that contains the following:
a) Author names/affiliations and
email addresses for every author;
b) Note who the contact author is;
c) Note whether the paper is pedagogy, educational
research, curriculum, professional development or a case;
d) Disciplines of Interest: provide any, and all,
disciplines you believe might have an interest in your presentation (for
example, all disciplines, accounting, economics,
finance, information technology, international, management, marketing,
operations management, or any combination of these);
Email your proposal along with a copy of the appropriate submission form found on the website (in MS Word format) to feaabe2020@gmail.com

Frequently Asked Questions
(1) What is the submission deadline and when will I know if my submission is accepted? All paper presentation and workshop/panel discussion proposals must be submitted by May 15th. Submitters will be notified by email whether their proposal has been accepted, hopefully by June 15. Please send your submissions as soon as you can so we can begin reviewing and ordering them.
(2) Can a submission be done electronically? By popular demand we only take them electronically. Please use the Google link at the top of the page if you can.
(3) Are FEA and ABE using the same process this year? Yes, both ABE and FEA materials can be submitted through the Google link above.
(4) Should I submit an entire paper/case or just an abstract? You can submit either. The only rumored advantage to submitting a completed paper is that it provides more information for the program committee to make its decision on possible inclusion on the program. Bottom line: if you have a completed paper, please submit it, but otherwise an abstract is fine. Workshop/Panel Discussion proposals would normally only be abstracts, since such presentations generally do not result in a "completed paper."
(5) Does a completed paper eventually have to be submitted to the program committee? No, but you will be asked to send a copy of your presentation to the chair and other participants of your session to help encourage discussion during the session. Ideally, you should have the finished paper ready no fewer than 3 weeks before the conference. You are also encouraged to bring copies of your completed paper with you for distribution to interested session attendees.
(6) How long should the abstract be? The suggested length is 1-2 pages, but that is only a suggestion. Obviously, there is no maximum, since we allow submission of completed papers. So we certainly wouldn't limit the length of abstract submissions. The 1-2 pages is suggested only as a minimum. Generally speaking, an abstract much shorter than one page would likely not have enough information on what is being proposed, and how it will be accomplished, for the program committee to make a sound judgment on the appropriateness of the submission or to be encouraged that the proposal is likely to be completed.
(7) What happens if I submit a proposal in a format other than that of MS Word? The proposal will not be considered.
Thank you for your support of FEA and ABE, and we look forward to seeing you in September.
