What is the conference book?

​

The conference book provides attendees with an overview of each session and workshop, including key topics, learning objectives, and recommended resources. It also serves as a valuable reference after the conference, allowing participants to revisit content and providing those who were unable to attend a particular session with access to its key information and bibliography.

​

What to include?

​

1. A brief presenter biography, one paragraph (optional: a photo of yourself, as a living historian or otherwise?)
    

2. A written version of your presentation that outlines the themes, key ideas, and information covered during your session or workshop
    

3. A bibliography with citations in your preferred citation style (please use the style consistently throughout-Chicago style is the standard for historians)
    

           Optional: include photographs, illustrations, or other images relevant to your presentation
