We invite you to submit your research for presentation at the
upcoming
SWPA convention!
The upcoming meeting will be held at the Gunter Hotel on the Riverwalk
in San Antonio, Texas on April 2-4. SWPA accepts submissions for
talks, posters, symposia, and student competitions. SWPA
submissions are only accepted via the online abstract submission
process, which will be open for submissions October 13th through
11:59:59PM on November 24th. This year the due date has been
pushed back several weeks compared to previous years to give you more
time to submit your current research. Submission guidelines are posted on our
web site.
We have several adjunct organizations that will also contribute to
the conference program (SAMR, SCPA, TPA, CTUP, and Psi Chi).
Instructions for submissions for all of these organizations will also
be posted on our web site.
We are also excited to announce that once again there will be
sessions at SWPA that will allow our licensed members to earn
continuing education credits. We will have more information about
this on our web site as we develop the program.
Our program will also be filled with several nationally recognized
invited speakers, and (NEW!) Invited Symposia moderated by several of
our SWPA State Representatives. See the Convention Highlights
page on our web site.
All authors on an abstract will need to create a member profile in
the SWPA database (use the online forms), and will need to be dues
current at the time of submission. Dues payment can be made online
after a membership profile has been created. If you are unable to pay
by credit card, please contact the Secretary/Treasurer for
alternatives. Dues-current membership will include conference
registration and a copy of the SWPA program. Other membership
benefits include a subscription to the SWPA e-newsletter and the
ability to post most announcements on the SWPA web site and in the
e-newsletter for no charge.
All conference attendees should become dues current prior to the
convention. Any dues payments less than three weeks prior to and
including the conference (March 12, 2009 through April 4, 2009) will
include an additional $10 late processing fee.
