Dear colleagues,

The Visual Resources Association's 33rd Annual Conference will be held in Denver, Colorado, from Wednesday, March 11th, through Saturday, March 14th, 2015, in the Westin Denver Downtown hotel. Please mark your calendars.

Proposals are now being solicited for the 2015 program case studies, papers, posters, sessions, special interest/user groups, and workshops.  All proposals are welcome.  Click here to go to the conference proposal form.   
•	A session is a maximum 90 minute moderated session with 3 to 4 speakers at 15 to 20 minutes each followed by a facilitated brief question and answer period.
•	A workshop is a 2, 3 or 4 hour workshop to develop skills and experience in the field of visual resources, preferably with hands-on activities.
•	A paper is an individual idea submission, which will be reviewed for possible grouping into a session.
•	A special interest/user group is a 60 to 90-minute informal facilitated group discussion on topics related to a specific community within VRA.
•	A case study is detailed information about an individual, small group, or project, generally including the accounts of subjects themselves. Moderators are encouraged to submit proposals. Individual case study proposals will be reviewed for possible groupings similar to the session format.
•	A poster advertises your research, and combines text and graphics to make a visually pleasing presentation. (http://writing.colostate.edu/guides/guide.cfm?guideid=78)
The Visual Resources Association is a multi-disciplinary, international professional organization dedicated to furthering research and education in the field of media
management within the educational, cultural heritage, and commercial environments. Some suggested topics compiled from this year's post-conference survey responses are listed below. Other ideas expanding beyond that which is familiar to VRA are encouraged. Past conference programs and highlights may be found on VRA’s website: http://vraweb.org/WordPress/conferences/. Moderators may put out calls for presenters within a proposed topic before or after submission of proposal. The VRA Executive Board will be looking for articulate and concise submissions with lists of presenters, when applicable. Specificity regarding audio-visual needs including live internet connectivity is recommended.

Some suggested topics:
•	Digital preservation
•	Digital stewardship
•	Digital curation / data curation
•	Workflow management and documentation
•	Visualization
•	Visual Literacy
•	Digital Humanities
o	VR professionals as bridges for digital humanities research
