The International Network for Social Network Analysis would like to announce a call for abstracts for Sunbelt XXXI to be held 8 February 2011 to 13 February 2011 at the TradeWinds Island Grand Resort in St. Pete Beach, FL, USA. Organizers for the conference are Russ Bernard, Mark House, Chris McCarty, and John Skvoretz. In addition to research posters and presentations, there will be workshops for scholars new to social network analysis and for those seeking to advance their skills using the most recently developed tools and techniques.

Our keynote speaker, who has yet to be determined, will be presented with the association's Georg Simmel Award and will give a keynote address on Thursday 10 February, the evening of the traditional banquet. In addition, last year's winner of the Linton C. Freeman Award for Outstanding Young Scholar, Arnout van de Rijt of SUNY Stony Brook, will give a plenary address. Of course, there will be the famous INSNA hospitality suite every evening Thursday through Saturday for after hours discussion and exchange of ideas.
