Cumulus Conference proposals should balance programming considerations such as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • academic rigor<\/strong> (in order to create the opportunity for faculty and researchers in our association to publish their work)<\/li>\n
  • experiential learning<\/strong> that showcases the unique regional and cultural diversity of the host institution<\/li>\n
  • innovative formats<\/strong> that create spaces for workshops and networking<\/li>\n
  • a hybrid component<\/strong>: making available parts of the conference programming virtually is part of all Cumulus conferences in the post-COVID new era, responding to the association\u2019s mandate to expand access to all of its members beyond the constraints and carbon footprint of international travel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Conference proposals undergo a comprehensive review by the Cumulus Executive Board who selects hosts following criteria articulated in the call\u2019s guidelines. While the competitive bidding process makes for unique conferences via diverse people, cultures, and regions, all Cumulus Conferences aim to create learning environments that foster engagement, collaboration, and knowledge exchange.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Cumulus Conferences Hosts are responsible for setting the budget of their event according to their programming vision. Conferences typically take place over 3 to 4 days and operate as non-profit events organized by a single member or a consortium of member institutions and local organizations. Conference delegate fees (independent of Cumulus members\u2019 annual dues) contribute one key source of budget for conference hosts. However, hosts are responsible for fundraising via their own institution and networks for additional financial resources to support their conference’s full execution.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    The close collaboration of the host with the Secretariat and the Cumulus Executive Board delivers high caliber programming, and optimal impact and reach globally via the Cumulus network. Host institutions are expected to proactively coordinate and communicate with the Secretariat team throughout the planning process of their Conference to ensure quality standards and the integration of ongoing Cumulus programming.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
