Online Presentation Option for the 2023 Conference:
The PCEA board strongly believes that our yearly conference is best experienced in-person.
However, we recognize that being physically present at this year’s conference may not be possible for all individuals due to funding cuts, travel restrictions, health concerns, etc. Because we recognize that some individuals may want to participate in the conference even though they cannot be physically present, we will be offering a small number of online panels that will run concurrently with the in-person sessions. Preference will be given to current or recent PCEA members.
Please note that we will not be livestreaming in-person sessions, which means that online presenters will not be able to view or participate in in-person sessions or the keynote address. Online participants will have access only to other online conference sessions (though we do hope to record the keynote address and make it available online).
Those who are interested in presenting online should submit a 250-300 word abstract by March 24th, 2023. Fees for those whose abstracts have been accepted will include membership and conference registration.
