Conferences, cities and themes
The twelve IWAC conferences in the corpus, 2002 to 2025, with the city, what is known of the theme, and what the program lets us read.
The conference ran every two years (2002 to 2018, then 2020 held in 2021, 2023, 2025). Each program was read by a parser written for that year's layout, so the notes below say where the reading is weak.
| Year | Site | Notes | Sessions | People |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Fort Collins, CO | Colorado State University, July 16-19 Read from the web program, which prints an area for each session. | 93 | 339 |
| 2023 | Clemson, SC | WAC for Transitions: The Next 50 Years Read from the PDF program; sessions with several papers list the presenters together. | 66 | 203 |
| 2020 virtual | Virtual (Colorado State University) | Fifteenth International WAC Conference, held August 2-6, 2021 after postponement Held virtually in August 2021 after a postponement. Read from the web program. | 86 | 275 |
| 2018 | Auburn, AL | Making Connections, Auburn University, June 4-6 The PDF prints chairs for only some sessions, and about sixteen session headings did not parse. | 84 | 273 |
| 2016 | Ann Arbor, MI | University of Michigan, June 23-25 The program prints each name and institution without a separator, so the split between them is partly inferred and some institutions are wrong. | 102 | 358 |
| 2014 | Minneapolis, MN | Shifting Currents / Making Waves, University of Minnesota, June 12-14 The PDF prints chairs for only some sessions, and lists the presenters of a panel on one line. | 88 | 258 |
| 2012 | Savannah, GA | Georgia Southern University, June 7-9 Read from the web program with the detailed schedule; abstracts are not shown here. | 97 | 229 |
| 2010 | Bloomington, IN | Indiana University, May 20-22 Read from the PDF program. The Clearinghouse's web list of presentations is incomplete, so it was not used. | 70 | 268 |
| 2008 | Austin, TX | University of Texas at Austin, May 29-31 Read from the PDF program. Several multi-author entries print no institution. | 106 | 324 |
| 2006 | Clemson, SC | Eighth IWAC, May 18-20 Read from the PDF program; paper titles are italic in the source and presenters follow their institution line. | 94 | 311 |
| 2004 | Bloomington, IN | Seventh National WAC Conference, WAC From an International Perspective, May 20-22 The Seventh National WAC Conference (Bloomington), which the Clearinghouse files under IWAC 2004. | 89 | 338 |
| 2002 | Houston, TX | WAC 2002 (Rice University and partners); OCR text, low confidence Read from an OCR'd scan of the printed program, so names and institutions carry recognition errors. Treat every row as a draft. | 39 | 253 |
