[Published on 26 November 2017, with updates]
With the completion of our Call for Papers for the 2018 Congress, we prepared the Programs for our Sessions and other Events (Reception and Open Business Meeting included). With the turn of the New Year, as customary, we began to post the Abstracts of Papers and Response, as their Authors permit.
Now, with the publication of the full Congress Program in a “sneak preview” at the beginning of February, the allocated times and locations become known. Also, more Abstracts join our Announcement here.
Background and Foreground
The course of announcements and reports about the 2018 Congress may follow the sequence of previous years. For example, for the 2017 Congress, we announced the Plans and the Call for Papers (which has a deadline of 15 September), the Program (once the Sessions are designed from the responses to the Call for Papers), then an updated version or versions of the Program with the addition of the Abstracts and other news (same URL), and, once the Congress is accomplished, a Report as well as, it may be, a Report Behind the Scenes.

*****
As in recent years, we co-sponsor Sessions with the Societas Magica (3 Sessions), and we co-sponsor a Reception.
Also, like the 2017 Congress, we plan for
- an Open Business Meeting and
- a Reception, co-sponsored with The Index of Medieval Art at Princeton University.
It will be the 13th year of our co-sponsorship with the Societas Magica, and our 3rd year of co-sponsorship with the Index of Christian Art at Princeton University, now (since 2017) known as the Index of Medieval Art at Princeton University.
As usual, we aim to publish the Abstracts for the accepted Papers as the preparations for the Congress advance. Abstracts for previous Congresses appear in the Congress Abstracts, listed by Year and by Author.]
