Notification of acceptance will occur in early May. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The virtual <\/strong>portion of the Conference will be held Tuesday, July 15<\/strong>, and the in-person sessions will take place on Thursday and Friday, July 17 and 18, at the <\/strong>University of Texas at Arlington<\/strong><\/a>. The UTA campus is about 30 minutes from DFW International Airport and about 40 minutes from Dallas Love Field Airport.
