to the Academic Research Symposium (ARS), held in conjunction with the CSCM Edge conference, will be extended. The new firm deadline for ARS submissions will be 5/15/24. An excellent team of track chairs and I are ready to review your conference submissions.
Hopefully, these extra two weeks will allow you to submit research that will allow you to receive feedback from the amazing attendees of the CSCMP ARS!</span></p>
