Proposing a Special SessionCurrent MLA members may propose only one special session a year. Before completing these forms, organizers should carefully read the "Procedures for Organizing Meetings at the MLA Convention," published in the September issue of PMLA and available on the MLA Web site. Organizers may also refer to the calendar of deadlines, published on the MLA Web site.Organizers should understand that proposals are at a disadvantage if all the information requested on the form is not provided or if the proposal includes individuals who are not MLA members by 7 April 2009 (unless the membership requirement has been waived). A waiver request may be completed online after your proposal has been submitted. To check the membership status of your participants, search the member database. Proposals must be submitted electronically no later than 1 April 2009. Click to view examples of the following sections of the proposal form:

Special Session FAQs
Deadline for Audiovisual RequestsSession organizers should check with their participants about audiovisual needs and include any requests on the proposal form. All requests for audiovisual equipment must be made by the session organizer by 1 April. Because the need for audiovisual equipment is a major factor in the scheduling of meetings (and because the movement of equipment is both costly and hazardous), the deadline is firm.
