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 Interest Group are a regular feature of AMIA conferences,
and members are encouraged to propose session topics in this field for
SG/AFIG sponsorhip, whether or not you would like to plan and participate
in the session yourself. For the 2008 Conference, direct your ideas to
