It’s not too early to mark your calendar for the Ohio Communication Association’s 82st annual conference on October 5th and 6th – in fact, submissions for the conference will open in just a few weeks! The theme for the 2018 conference, which will be held at University of Akron Wayne College (Orriville, OH), is Leveraging the Strengths of our Discipline: Teaching, Scholarship, and Service. This theme was selected to represent the evolution of OCA as an organization.

Submissions will be accepted beginning March 1, 2018 via the OCA website. Communication professionals, faculty, administrators, undergraduate, and graduate students are all invited to attend and are encouraged to submit proposals. The OCA conference will be accepting proposals for poster and paper presentations, panel discussions, G.I.F.T.S. sessions, and short courses. We anticipate featuring innovative, original research and teaching ideas exemplifying the best Ohio and our neighboring states offer.

The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, May 15. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the 2017 Conference Coordinator, Julie Semlak, at semlakj@clarkstate.edu. Details for the conference and the organization can be found on the OCA website: https://ohiocomm.org/conference/.

Conference registration will open on July 15th. We are looking forward to a thoughtful and enjoyable 2018 OCA conference.
