100 Super Early Bird Slots Added – Hawaii International Conference on Education

Note this update from the Hawaii International Conference on Education that will take place next January.

Aloha Past Participants,

Due to many requests, we have added 100 additional slots for our Super Early Bird Rate for the 2020 Hawaii International Conference on Education. Take advantage now before the next Call for Papers goes out (this Thursday evening) to the masses and you miss out on this special rate.

With university budgets continually a factor for a lot of our attendees, we have again decided to offer a Super Early Bird Rate of $315 for the first 300 people (100 remaining) that register for the 2020 Hawaii International Conference on Education which will be held January 4-7, 2020. (See our website at http://www.hiceducation.org for full conference details)

To register instantly for the Super Early Bird Rate, visit http://hiceducation.org/registration/ and click the “Register Online” button.

Our next Call for Papers for the 2020 conference will be sent out Thursday May 23rd, so be sure to begin preparing your proposals! Visit http://hiceducation.org/call-for-papers/   for full details on submitting.

A few important notes about the Super Early Bird Rate:

1. Only the first 300 registrants (100 remaining) are eligible for the rate.
2. As in past years, we will offer FULL refunds for these rates as long as you make your refund request by December 14th, 2019. So there is no risk if your plans change, or you cannot participate.
3. With only 100 slots remaining, the Super Early Bird Rate should sell out within just a few days. And will definitely sell out right after the Call for Papers goes out to the masses.

We look forward to seeing everyone in 2020, and hope this  lower rate can make it a bit easier for some to be able to participate in the conference.

Mahalo (Hawaiian for Thank You),
Andrew Burge
Conference Coordinator

2020 AERA Call for Submissions – Now Open

Note the up-coming call for submissions for the annual meeting of the American Education Research Association.

Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to officially inform you that the AERA 2020 Annual Meeting Call for Submissions is now available on the AERA website. We encourage you to consider a paper or session submission to a division, special interest group (SIG), or committee that best aligns with your research interests. The deadline for submissions is 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time, on July 10, 2019. The 2020 Annual Meeting will be held on April 17-21, 2020, in San Francisco, California. The overall theme is “The Power and Possibilities for the Public Good When Researchers and Organizational Stakeholders Collaborate.” We hope that you will consider a submission in response to the Call. The theme advanced by AERA President Vanessa Siddle Walker, and Annual Meeting Co-Chairs Sheryl J. Croft and Michelle A. Purdy, invites us to examine the possibility of new, previously uncontemplated research questions; discuss different methodological approaches to old problems; and collectively enable research findings to inform legislation and policy in ways that may exceed the influence of individual researchers. The last AERA Annual Meeting in San Francisco was in 2013. We are now returning once again to create an Annual Meeting that will attract broad participation worldwide. This meeting will provide an opportunity to share research, assess the state of our knowledge, and explore how our work can become more relevant to diverse communities, publics, practitioners, and policy makers. Please submit and join us in April 2020 in San Francisco. Cordially, Felice Felice J. Levine, PhD Executive Director Robert Robert Smith, CMP, CMM Director of Meetings American Educational Research Association 1430 K Street, NW Suite 1200 Washington, DC 20005 (202) 238-3200 www.aera.net
