    Hi! We are interested in submitting a proposal for a Hot Topic related to Hyflex Teaching. However, I am confused as to whether I need to plan for an entire panel with multiple people beyond our panel of 2-3 people or just our own proposal for a 20-minute talk/panel, and then you will create relevant panels from the different submissions you get?

    Any direction you can give would be appreciated.

    Thanks so much!

    Hi Peggy,

    Thank you for your interest in submitting a proposal for EV 2023. For Hot Topics, each person only needs to submit an abstract for a 20-minute talk. The event leads for Hot Topics will be putting the panels together after the vetting process. =)

    We look forward to receiving your submission.  

    Thank you!

    Hi Peggy,
    What a great topic! However, the proposal deadline for an EVO Session was Sept. 4. This would have been an excellent topic for one of our 5-week sessions January 9 - February 12, 2023. For such a session, it is advisable to have several weekly moderators to discuss topics and projects with participants. 
    Since you mention Hot Topics, which is a type of panel presentation offered by the Electronic Village (EV) of the CALL-IS at TESOL Conventions, you may be referring to that rather the EVO. Their Call for Proposals, including Hot Topics, is at https://call-is.org/ev/ 
    Even if you meant the EV (rather than EVO), we would love to hear from you. Both EVO and the EV are part of the CALL-IS. Please do consider proposing your idea for an EVO 2024 session.
    Wishing you much success,
