Iaap newsletter 28 - The new Israeli Jungian society

The Call for Participation, with the deadline of Oct. 31 st , 2008, was sent by email on
May 9 th , 2008, followed by a post card, sent by ground post to ensure that all
members of the IAAP, including those without email, would received the invitation to
submit proposals for consideration by the Program Committee. The deadline for
proposals was eventually extended to Nov. 30 th , 2008.
The Program Committee received 290 proposals for consideration after the extended
deadline. The proposals represent 43 IAAP Societies from 6 continents including,
North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa. The vast majority
of the proposals are for presentations in English, but Italian, French, Spanish, and
German are also well represented. The proposals cover a wide spectrum of interests
and formats, including lecture presentations, workshops, and film presentations.
In February, the Program Committee will meet in Montreal for two intensive days to
review each proposal. The work of the PC promises to be both challenging and
creative as we begin to sculpt the program for the Montreal Congress from the many
innovative proposals. The building blocks that the Program Committee has available
in the numerous proposals augers well for the Congress to be an exciting array of
cutting edge presentations reflecting the multiplicity of our membership from around
the world. We look forward to sharing the fruits of our labour in February with you
and to presenting you with a great program for the Congress in Montreal in August
2010.
Respectfully submitted,
