Conference Sessions
In 2001 AMIA spotlighted amateur film formats by hosting
the Small Gauge Symposium at its annual conference. In
addition to offering a special array of themed sessions during the
Portland event, a Small Gauge Task Force compiled this document listing
small gauge resources and summarizing the state of small gauge
interests and concerns at the time:

Conference sessions organized and sponsored
by the Small Gauge / Amateur Film Conference are a regular feature of
AMIA conferences, and members are encouraged to propose session topics
in this field for SG/AFC sponsorship, whether or not you would like to
plan and participate in the session yourself. For the 2010 Conference,
direct your ideas to interest group co-chair Andy Uhrich at auhrich@nyu.edu.
