The 2013 conference of the Florida Historical Society will be held aboard the Carnival cruise ship "Sensation" May 23-26, 2013. Conference rate bookings at $500 per person (shared berth) or $1000 per couple/roommates are due by December 31, 2012. To accommodate speakers and panelists, we will be making early decisions on conference papers. Please submit your abstract by October 31, 2012 so that we can begin to put together the program. More information on the conference, reservations, keynote speakers, and events can be found at the home page of the Florida Historical Society. As in the past, there will be facilities for multimedia presentations, including PowerPoint. Because of tight deadlines, no late submissions can be considered. To submit a proposal or for information about submissions, contact James Cusick at jgcusick@ufl.edu (please put “FHS Paper” in your email heading) or call him at (352) 273-2778.
