[Sigifp-l] SIG IEP 2018 Workshop

Sat Mar 17 15:26:42 EDT 2018

Thank you, Shannon.

I took the liberty of kicking off this thread.  I also created a Google Doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-QSss8ky9gRlxZmw-c3qDhbNE1ztEOSIymiwBoU-vDw/edit?usp=sharing> that we could use to flesh out the full-blown proposal, which is due April 2nd.

In addition to the topics that Emily shared in her email (also in the Google Doc), it sounds like there are additional areas of interest (ethics of IoT, etc.) that we could explore.

As we work to flesh out the details in the Google Doc, could someone who attended last year’s pre-conference workshop give us a better idea of the format and logistics that would be helpful to know as we work on the proposal?  

For example: How many speakers, panels, or presentations should we aim for this year’s workshop based on last year?  Any lessons learned from last year that we might want to consider this year as we write the proposal?  Anything else that you wished you’d included in last year’s proposal? etc. 

Thanks!
Colin

Here are guidelines for workshops:https://www.asist.org/am18/call-for-proposals/workshops/ <https://www.asist.org/am18/call-for-proposals/workshops/>.

I would be willing to lead the development and submission efforts on this one if other folks are interested.

Written out like that, it sounds like a long list, but it’s not really too bad. Most of it happens in bits, not all at once, and generally people are willing to collaborate and pitch in.

> -Use “Information Access panel” if you’re referring to the proposal I just mentioned above
> -Make up a different subject line if it’s about none of the above
