The typical format involves four consecutive 20-minute scholarly presentations, followed by comments and critique offered by the appointed discussant, and questions and answers from the audience. The conference also incorporates discussion panels on timely topics of Regional Science. We will offer the opportunity to participate in one of several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.narsc.org\/newsite\/?page_id=2547\">workshops and tutorials<\/a> on cutting-edge topics of Regional Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All paper presenters are expected to have a manuscript (even in draft form) available to share with the appointed discussant 2-3 weeks before the conference. An abstract must be submitted by the stated deadline for a presentation to be accepted, but a manuscript is not necessary at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All conference participants agree to serve as discussants of a conference paper, if appointed to do so by the Conference Program Committee. Some participants will also be invited to serve as session chairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a graduate student, please consider entering one of our two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.narsc.org\/newsite\/awards-prizes\/narsc-student-competitions\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"32\">Graduate Student Paper Competitions<\/a> &#8211; Graduate-Student-Author Paper Competition or the Graduate-Student-Led Paper Competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NARSC invites Regional Scientists to suggest ideas for special sessions, focused on specific topics.
