Instructions to Authors

Thank you for giving a paper at this year’s Great Lakes Planetarium Association Conference.

The Conference Proceedings will contain texts of all invited and contributed papers and most workshops. Texts for poster papers may be briefer than those for oral papers.

In addition to filling out the paper submission form, you are required to submit a text of your oral or poster paper for the Proceedings by the date below or your presentation will be canceled.
