BAM Council is making a determined effort to strengthen the
academic quality of its annual conference. Leading Academics
from around the world, together with BAM SIGs, will host tracks
that will involve full papers submitted to a double blind refereeing
process. In addition, the BAM SIGs will play a prominent role
in workshops, symposia, round table sessions and working/developmental
papers.
