Call for PAPERS AND POSTERS
Deadline: October 31, 2009

The Voice Foundation is actively seeking WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
Deadline: October 31, 2009

Voice professionals are invited to submit a proposal for a workshop to be considered for presentation at the Voice Foundation's 2010 Symposium. As you prepare your submission, please keep in mind that the focus of the workshop should be on the "live" demonstration of your techniques with singers, actors, patients, or audience members. The workshop duration is 55 minutes, and we request that you plan for the majority of the session to be spent in hands-on interaction with the participants. Be advised that workshops should be designed to be presented without the use of audiovisual aids such as overhead projectors, slide projectors, or videotapes.


Abstract submission for the 2010 Symposium is now closed. We will notify authors of their abstract's status on or before January 31, 2010.

 

Registration

Registration for the 39th Annual Symposium will open early in 2010.

It is directly connected to Liberty Place, an upscale shopping center, and the Pennsylvania Convention Center is just a few blocks away. Many of the area's other famous landmarks including the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, the Betsy Ross House, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art are nearby as well.

Experience the commitment to Modern Luxury in each of their 290 luxurious guest rooms including 17 suites and the new WestinWORKOUT® Powered by Reebok Gym. The rich European décor, lavish conference facilities, and exquisite culinary presentations attract an impressive array of corporate events and social occasions.
