TAA Teleconferences

How does it work?
As a TAA member, you can participate in TAA's Teleconferences for free. You can sign up for as many teleconferences as you would like.

What is a TAA Teleconference?
Each teleconference is held as a conference call. Participants are given a number to call at a specific time, and a code to enter the discussion. Multiple participants at one site can participate in a teleconference via speaker phone. 

Participants will receive an e-mail one week before the teleconference containing the call-in number and code, as well as a link to the TAA website for downloading any supporting materials that will be used during the teleconference.

Have questions or a topic to suggest?
Contact TAA's Associate Executive Director Kim Pawlak at kim.pawlak@taaonline.net or call (608) 687-3106.

Fred Kleiner, Professor of Art History and Archaeology

"The program of teleconferences that TAA recently launched is, in my opinion, the most significant and valuable new membership benefit TAA has offered since the introduction of its annual conferences many years ago. The conference calls are unparalleled opportunities for members to get advice on almost every conceivable topic of interest to authors, from an introduction to the challenges of writing a first textbook or first academic article to how to market a book after publication and how to negotiate contracts and decipher royalty statements. The presenters are all experts, and every teleconference gives the participants the opportunity to ask questions. For me, these teleconferences epitomize the community spirit of TAA, because the presenters are all giving their time and sharing their expertise gratis, and the participants often share their own experiences and contribute their own insights to the discussion. On my score sheet, the TAA conferences have a 4.0 GPA!"
Fred S. Kleiner, Professor of Art History and Archaeology, Chair, Art History Department, Boston University
