| Submit a Late Breaking Session Proposal Do you have an idea for a session addressing a current issue for the APPE International Conference in St. Louis, March 5-8 or the virtual conference on April 10? Now is your chance to submit a late-breaking session proposal. We are seeking proposals that highlight ethical issues that have arisen after the standard conference proposal deadline, and we are especially interested in proposals that feature local or regional presenters in person, or international presenters online. This is not a chance to submit for those who simply missed the deadline; this is an opportunity to submit NEW proposals based on new information, current events, recent studies, etc.
The deadline to propose a late-breaking session is 11:59 ET on February 1. The conference committee will review proposals and issue acceptances or rejections by February 9. |

Ethics Bowl Case to Consider Rank and Fail (2026 APPE Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl National Competition Case Set) New York City's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, was elected in spite of being massively outspent by former Governor Andrew Cuomo, in part thanks to New York's ranked-choice voting (RCV) system. In one of this year's cases from the national case set, the pros and cons of that system -- for example, it can be more poitically inclusive, or it may unintentionally disenfranchise communities it's hoping to empower -- are presented. Read the case (#15) here, then discuss with your friends, family and colleagues. |
