[Sig-l] ASIST 2014> SIG involvement in panels

[Howard Rosenbaum]

SIG leaders,

We are the co-chairs of panels for ASIST 2014 and we want to invite you all to take part in the process so that SIGs can play a greater role in the conference.

We are suggesting that prior to the official review process, SIG officers will solicit, develop, internally review and sponsor panel proposals for the conference. If there are proposals that seem appropriate for multiple SIG sponsorship, we suggest that you reach out to them and co-sponsor proposals. 

Of course, we cannot guarantee that a sponsored proposal will be accepted because we do not intend to circumvent the review process, but we will look favorably on proposals sponsored by multiple SIGs.

Howard and Pnina.

From the call:

Panels

Proposals for panels, lightening talks, fishbowls, Pecha Kucha, etc. are invited on topics that include emerging cutting-edge research and design, analyses of emerging trends, opinions on controversial issues, analyses of tools and techniques, and contrasting viewpoints from experts in complementary areas of research. Panels are not a substitute for a set of contributed papers, but must have a cohesive theme and promote lively interaction between panelists and audience members. Submit 3-5 pages that provide an overview of the issues to be discussed by the panel. Proposals should also list panelists who have agreed to participate and indicate the qualifications and contribution that each panelist will offer. 
Important dates:

April 23: A SIG office will email us a list of the panels that the SIG is sponsoring or co-sponsoring. Include the SIGs, the title of the panel, the panel organizers and a brief description

April 30: Deadline for panel proposal submission. Remind the panel organizers to submit their proposals

July 30: Notifications of acceptance

August 20: Final copies
