Greetings all,
The idea of extending the deadline on this CfP has been mooted, but at present the Nov 15 deadline remains.

There's still time to respond to this one:
The TESOL CALL-IS is pleased to present the Call for Proposals for the Electronic Village and Technology Showcase at TESOL 2017. Please re-post and re-share the following Call for Proposals to all interested parties:
