Please confirm your attendance

We are currently finalizing the schedule.  If your paper/lightning talk/poster/demo/workshop/creative presentation/panel etc. was accepted for this year’s conference, we need you to confirm that you will be attending!  Most of you did this by the January 15th deadline, but if this slipped your mind, please do so now!

Thank you for your patience!

Hi Everyone,
Connectivity issues that were compounded by the holidays mean we are slightly behind in sending out results.  For those still waiting, you’ll receive word by January 8th at the latest.  Our apologies for the delay.

Acceptance Letters Coming Soon

The local organizing committee will be sending notifications to those who submitted proposals December 27th and 31st, 2012.  Thank you to everyone who expressed an interest in participating in HASTAC 2013.  The volume and the quality of submissions we received was extremely high — we are so excited about the program, but we did have to make some very difficult decisions.
