| You are cordially invited to submit proposals to present at the 2008 SIETAR Global Congress in Granada, Spain.
The theme of the congress is How globalization affects cultures & cultures shape globalization. The Presentation Committee will be looking for a rich mixture of presentations that show solid academic research, best practices in organizational development, consulting and training interventions in both private and public sectors, as well as arts and literature with a clear focus on the interplay of culture and globalization. The purpose of the conference sessions is to inform, update and stimulate participants in their work. Therefore the emphasis is on the value added by the research or practice in terms of breaking new ground and questioning assumptions, demonstrating innovative tools and techniques, and showing creative expression.
We welcome contributions from all academic disciplines that deal with intercultural issues and all fields in which intercultural work is exercised and applied.
Esther Louis and Peggy Pusch
Presentation Committee co-chairpersons

NEW! In 2008 take advantage of POSTER SESSIONS to reach more attendees more effectively
Poster sessions are an extremely effective way to exchange information and to communicate ideas, research, and programs. Poster sessions may be used to:
- describe an innovative intercultural program
- present the process and results of an initiative or practical problem-solving effort
- report on a research study
Poster session presenters place materials such as pictures, data, graphs, diagrams and narrative text on boards (roughly 2m2 or 4'x8' in size). During assigned time periods, presenters informally discuss their presentations with conference attendees, provide handouts, etc. Note that poster sessions are presentations, not promotional or commercial events. The conference Show & Tell, Exhibitor and Advertiser opportunities serve these purposes.
Here are some things to think about for Granada
- As this is a global congress, the competition for presentations will be significant. We will be creating as much space as possible for these events, but the quality of your presentation abstract or proposal and its relevance to the conference theme will be critical.
- The purpose of our presentation sessions is to inform, update and stimulate our participants in their work. Therefore the emphasis is on the value added by your research or presentation in terms of breaking new ground, questioning assumptions, innovative tools and techniques, and creative expression.
- Please consult the presentation and poster session guidelines and follow them carefully in preparing and submitting your proposal.
- As there will be significant lead time, there will be absolutely no exceptions to the deadlines for presentation of abstracts and proposals. Abstracts and proposals will be received by the presentations committee between October 10, 2007 and February 1, 2008.
- Lead presenters will be offered a reduced congress attendance fee.
