    Call for Panel Proposals 

    The AEJMC 2026 Conference will be in New Orleans, Louisiana.

    Submission Deadline: October 7, 2025

    Please email AEJMC Sports Communication Interest Group Vice Chair Mia Long Anderson at long.mia@gmail.com with panel proposals or if you have questions. An acknowledgment of receipt will be sent once the panel proposals are received.

    The AEJMC Sports Communication Interest Group is seeking panel proposals for the 2026 AEJMC Conference to be held in New Orleans, LA.  

    Panel proposals should address one of the three areas of AEJMC: research, teaching, or professional freedom and responsibility. Panel proposals should have:

    • a title
    • narrative description of content that includes rationale for inclusion in the conference
    • its direct tie to an aspect of sports communication
    • acknowledgement of how diversity will be an integral part of the panel

    Names of suggested panelists with professional or institutional affiliation and contact information (email and phone) also required. Please acknowledge that potential panelists have been contacted for participation. 

    As this conference is planned as an on-site event in New Orleans, panels that draw upon local expertise can offer a unique experience for in-person attendees. 

    Panels will be chosen based on relevance to the interest group and the  acknowledgement of criteria as listed above. 

    Proposals are due by 11:59 p.m. ET, October 7, 2025.

    While panels do not yet need all of the details fully committed, it is very important to only submit panel ideas that you are able to follow through with and will be able to see through to completion.

    Please email AEJMC Sports Communication Interest Group Vice Chair Mia Long Anderson at long.mia@gmail.com with panel proposals or if you have questions. An acknowledgement of receipt will be sent once panel proposals are received.
