Hello,
The 2nd Annual Earhart-Noonan Symposium in Eugene, Oregon Saturday, May 4, 2019.
The Archaeological Legacy Institute (ALI) has announced that the deadline for submitting abstracts for papers that will be presented has been extended to midnight Thursday, February 28. I have received a variety of interesting abstracts!
If you attend as an audience member, and register by March 31, 2019, the conference fee is $100 ($130 beginning April 1). Alternatively, a full-day pass to the Earhart-Noonan Symposium (or other events that day) is $50. A single presentation pass is $10.
If you wish to present a paper forward a 150-words-or-less description to me directly at KSpading@Comcast.net. I will forward an abstract submission form to you.
This symposium is a component The Archaeology Channel (TAC) Conference on Cultural Heritage Media which is itself a key activity of the 16th Annual TAC International Film Festival. The Archaeology Channel (TAC) is a streaming media website brought to you by Archaeological Legacy Institute (ALI) which is a 501[c][3] nonprofit.
The symposium is held to further the development of our understanding of Ms. Earhart’s and Mr. Noonan’s lives, contributions, disappearance and influences on popular culture. The symposium presents a wonderful opportunity for Earhart-Noonan devotees and researchers to get together, network and compare notes! This Conference is especially well designed for media-related presentations.
Note the wide variety of topics at this link which were presented last year ranging from tongue-in-check humor such as:
“ Buzzards or Boosters? Fiction Writers and the Amelia Mystery”
to Technical:
“ Reassessment of Acute Environment Impacts on Earhart’s Final Flight”.

Earhart-Noonan symposium papers will be presented in the morning and afternoon on symposium day. In 2018 we had a full morning and afternoon of interesting AE-FN related presentations.
I sincerely hope you can attend this year. Questions are welcome.
