The TIGS were only allotted 2 sessions this year. CPE leadership found this to be too narrow and not sufficiently inclusive. In the spirit of fostering dialogue and interaction on a much broader scale, we have created this page which consists of a variety of resources and a list of sessions converted into posters sessions in order to be included in the program.

Please contact a colleague about their abstract and engage their work.

INTRODUCTION TO THE VIRTUAL CPE CONFERENCE SITE

AEA is organizing a virtual conference this year, given the COVID-19 context. However, program space is severely limited.

Therefore, we have created a virtual space to highlight the full scope of our work.

We have provided you with a list of our submitted papers, panels, and sessions. They are all in poster format.

Please contact a colleague if the title and/or abstract captures your interest.

This conference preparation site has two (2) options:

1) View and Access All the CPE Submitted Presentations and CPE Resources

2) View and Post Your Abstracts and a Member Profile to Help You Engage in the Virtual Meeting

Option 1) View and Access this Conference Site

You automatically have access to option 1) viewing the CPE submission links and resources.

Take some time to tour around the site and select papers and presentations of interest.

We have posted the name of the submitted session and the AEA link to their abstract, based on their submission to AEA and CPE.

In addition, we have posted CPE resources, ranging from the CPE Facebook page to an upcoming Workshop (November 13, 2021) you can register for below.

Option 2) View and Post in this Conference Preparation Site

You must request permission from the TIG Co-chair, David Fetterman, to select this option.

Once you are permitted to post in this conference preparation site, which will be automatic,

we recommend you post your abstract on this site to facilitate access for your colleagues. This will help us get to know each other a lot better.

This link will bring you to a sample of a posted CPE submitted abstract. Just add a new page from that one using the + button.

We have also added a CPE member profile page.

Go to this sample and just add a new page (using the + button) and enter your own profile.

Remember this is a conference preparation site, if you have questions about your colleagues' work, just ask them.

We appreciate your patience (and your enthusiasm) as we experiment with this new collaborative space.

Detailed Posting Directions

Google Site Directions

Google has provided detailed directions concerning posting on Google Sites.

Take some time to review their instructions before posting.

However, if you want a simple set of directions to get you started, this is how you post or link your abstract to this site, including any pictures, diagrams, or reports.

1. Go to Pages (in the column on the right).

2. Go to the bottom of the column on the right and select the + (plus) button.

It will add a new page.

3. Go to Insert and Select "Insert Layout"

- select the top left layout icon under "Layouts" to keep our format consistent

4. Add a picture of yourself or an image related to your submitted abstract or presentation. Then copy and paste in the title and abstract of your presentation.

Colleagues can comment on your abstract on that page in our collective site or they can send you an email.

Thanks for participating in this virtual conference forum, in this COVID-19 context.
