Los Angeles, California
Jan. 6-9, 2011

The Association for Business Communication seeks proposals for 20-minute presentations at the 2011 Modern Language Association Convention in Los Angeles, CA: January 6-9, 2011.

The quality of visuals—which are often included in business writing—enhances the retention of data. The ABC seeks panel session proposals exploring strategies for teaching the effective integration of visuals into modern business writing.

Interdisciplinary perspectives such as international business and language barriers, business writing and pedagogy, and technology and business presentations are welcomed.

500 word abstracts, a one-page CV, and all contact information should be emailed no later than March 27, 2010, to Mahli Xuan Mechenbier.
