Proposal Submission Guide & Form

1. Adhere to Minimum Proposal Submission Length / Requirements

Submissions should follow the page limits on the Presentation Categories page. Example: If submitting a Full Paper, be sure it is 4-8 pages in length. An abstract is not sufficient to adequately evaluate a Full Paper.

Please note that reviewers may reject submissions if the written product shows exceedingly poor grammar or structure. For this reason, all papers and presentations—especially those written by non-native English speakers—should be proofread or copyedited prior to submission.

Please follow the same formatting guidelines for submissions as those provided in the Proceedings Guidelines, with the exception of removing author information for the review process.

2. Proposal Submission Form

To send a proposal submission, complete and submit this form. (Do not mail or fax the form itself.)

NOTE: Only include author names on the submission form fields. Do not include the author name(s) and information in the uploaded submission file. All reviews are blind. After acceptance, prior to the early registration deadline, upload your final version and include this section.

3. Receipt Email & Changes:

After submitting, you should within a few minutes receive an acknowledgment via email. If your e-mail account has a restriction for Spam or a firewall, please update your account to accept e-mail from conf@aace.org

log back into the submission area
select ‘Edit Previous Submission’ on the menu to view your proposal.
