The conference will be held in Vilas Hall on the campus of the University of Wisconsin in downtown Madison, WI. For a map of the location and travel directions, click here.

Twitter: The hashtag for Fiske Matters is #Fiske10. You can follow the Twitter feed here and it will be archived at http://www.twapperkeeper.com/hashtag/Fiske10. As befits the subject of the conference, we encourage members of the audience to actively engage in the proceedings using Twitter, extending the event and conversation beyond the rooms in Vilas Hall. We ask that the Twitter backchannel strive to accurately represent the presentations, and operate on the principle that you not post anything that you would be unwilling to say in the in-room conversation. And we ask that presenters and members of the live audience be aware that their comments might be shared and archived via Twitter.

Information for Presenters

All conference presentation rooms are equipped with a DVD player, VHS player, and cables to connect laptops to the projection system. Mac users should be sure to bring their own adapters. Internet access will also be available.

Panels with three papers are scheduled for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Panels with four papers are scheduled for 1 hour and 45 minutes. All presenters will have 20 minutes in which to present their papers, allowing for a question and answer period at the end of each session.
