FROM THE PRESIDENT-ELECT
ATA64: Planning Our
Big Reunion in Miami!

hat a great time we
had in Los Angeles
at ATA63! It was
especially exciting to see that
social media and blog posts
in which attendees recapped
their ATA63 experiences
continued for many weeks
after the conference.
As I'm writing this,
planning for ATA's 64th
Annual Conference is in full
swing. We're getting ready
for the site visit to Miami,
and I can't wait to check out
our conference hotel. For
those of you who attended
ATA56 in 2015, we'll be
staying at the same hotel, the
Hyatt Regency Miami.
I'll be sharing updates
as they become available.
In the meantime, I hope
you'll consider submitting
a conference proposal this
year. The call for speaker
proposals for ATA64 is now
open and the proposal form is
available online until March
1 on the conference website.
If you've never written a
proposal to present at an
ATA Annual Conference, then
watch our free webinar " How
to Submit a Successful ATA
Annual Conference Proposal "
to learn more about
developing and submitting
a presentation proposal. If
you have any questions about
submitting a conference
proposal, please contact
Adrian Aleckna, ATA's
Professional Development
Manager: adrian@atanet.org.
Some Changes for ATA64
ATA's Annual Conference
is our flagship event, and
we're always looking for
ways to make it a fantastic
experience for attendees,
speakers, exhibitors, and
sponsors. The conference
survey is an important tool
during the planning process,
and I would like to thank
all of you who submitted
your feedback on ATA63.
Additionally, last year, the
Board and the Executive
Committee discussed various
ways of rethinking our
Annual Conference model,
and some of these changes
will be introduced at ATA64.
Distinguished Speakers:
As I shared in my column
last year, selecting and
scheduling conference
sessions is not an easy task,
as conference organizers
before me will attest.
ATA has 22 divisions, and
according to tradition, each
of them would normally
be invited to nominate
a distinguished speaker
to present two one-hour
sessions. If approved, these
invitations could account
for up to 48 sessions out
of the allotted number of
conference sessions, which
dramatically decreases
the number of conference
slots available for regular
sessions. Since all approved
distinguished speakers
receive an honorarium, this
program is also one of the
top areas where we can save
the Association money and
improve our overall Annual
Conference budget.
I've discussed changes to
the distinguished speaker
program with ATA's division
administrators and assistant
administrators, and we
decided to switch to a new
system this year. Divisions
will have an opportunity to
nominate a distinguished
speaker every other year,
starting with those divisions
holding an election in 2023.
