The Grading Conference now welcomes abstract submissions for our 6th annual meeting, held online June 11-13, 2025. Abstracts are due February 28 by 11:59 pm Pacific Time. Learn more about the abstract submission process on our website.
The Grading Conference will support four presentation formats in 2025 (posters, talks, workshops, and panel discussions). With the exception of panel discussions, each presentation format includes several different types of papers that we encourage for submission. For more details on paper types, session formats, and evaluation criteria, see our website.
We anticipate sending decisions by or before April 18.
We also have an open call for self-nominations for several volunteer groups:
(1) Abstract Reviewers
To review abstracts according to the evaluation criteria determined by the Organizing Committee.
(2) Program Committee Members
To organize accepted abstracts into sessions by theme and set the schedule within an outline determined by the Organizing Committee.
(3) Zoom Helpers
To help Organizing Committee members host one Zoom session during the conference. (You are NOT signing up to do this for the entire three days!) At least one member of the Organizing Committee will always be present, but the Conference is too large now for us to do this alone! We may ask you to do things like monitor the chat, make sure the recording has begun, or read questions from the Q&A panel to presenters. A pre-conference training session will be offered earlier during the week of the conference to go over any technical requirements. A stable internet connection is required.
(4) Leads for Affinity Social Groups
To lead an informal affinity group gathering during a social hour at the end of the day on either Wednesday or Thursday. Volunteers can identify their own topic for the affinity group, for instance: community college faculty, alt grading in large courses, research on alt grading, etc.
We seek volunteers from a variety of backgrounds, disciplinary and otherwise. To nominate yourself, please fill out this form.
