Proposal and more specific conference information still to come.

In the meantime, here's a preview:

NCPTW 2011 – Miami, Florida, November 4-5

Co-Chairs: Paula Gillespie, Florida International University, Kevin Dvorak, St. Thomas University, and Shanti Bruce, Nova Southeastern University.

A year from now you could be packing your sandals and swim suit instead of raincoat and jackets to attend NCPTW in sunny Miami. (http://www.miamiandbeaches.com/visitors/)

Paula, Kevin, and Shanti are hosting it at the Biscayne Bay Campus of Florida International University, the north campus that features ocean views, coconut palms, and sunshine aplenty.  (http://bbc.fiu.edu/virtualtour/pop-01.htm )  Temperatures the week of the conference typically range in the low eighties during the day, and the rainy season will have ended. 

The conference will be centered in the Kovens Conference Center (http://kovens.fiu.edu/), which offers four meeting rooms plus space for sessions in the ballroom. Extra meeting rooms are available in the BBC Library, just a quick walk from the center and home of FIU’s Center for Excellence in Writing BBC location.
