The University Caucus of Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas will once again sponsor a Hot Topics session at the next annual conference in Portland, OR, on Thursday afternoon, July 7, 2016: exact time TBA. Hot Topics invites all LMDA members (not academics only) to present, in 5 minutes, an idea or project that passionately engages you right now.

We’re fierce about the time limit to make room for everyone, so your presentation will require a good deal of careful preparation. You want to introduce the topic so that anyone interested can join the conversation.
It’s not a bad idea to provide your audience with a handout with more details.

We are happy to write to your dean or department chair in support of your application for funds to attend the conference.

If you have a topic, and would like to be on the schedule, please get in touch with Geoff Proehl, Hot Topics facilitator (gproehl@pugetsound.edu) or Bryan Moore, VP of University Relations (orionbcm@yahoo.com) right away. Spots are limited, so please contact us as soon as possible.

We hope you will consider attending and participating in this year’s session.
