Sirens is presented by Narrate Conferences, Inc., an educational 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to bringing together diverse groups to share their knowledge, skills, and perspectives. We feel strongly that authors, readers, teachers, librarians, publishing industry professionals, and others have a wealth of knowledge to share, and we invite all potential Sirens attendees to propose papers, panels, workshops, and roundtable discussions for inclusion in our programming schedule. When we refer to programming, we generally mean the scholarly studies and discussions proposed by attendees who will, if selected, present their work, teach others, or moderate discussions at the conference.

All of Sirens's programming will be presented by our attendees or our guests of honor. We have no required qualifications to submit; instead, we require simply that all proposals be thoughtfully prepared for presentation. Our vetting board will review all proposals and determine which will be included in the 2010 programming schedule for Sirens.

Our submissions deadline for our 2010 conference is May 7. We invite all attendees and potential attendees to consider submitting a proposal: our vetting board will select the 2010 programming schedule from only those proposals submitted. If you are considering submitting a proposal, please review our call for proposals, our presentation elements, and our vetting board for more information, and if you still have questions or concerns, we welcome inquiries at (programming at sirensconference.org). Finally, an informal series on preparing proposals is offered occasionally on the Sirens LiveJournal, under the programming tag for posts.
