We invite you to submit proposals for panels for CSCW 2014. Please also refer to our web site (http://cscw.acm.org/participation_panel.html) for detail and updates.

Panels are a great way to generate debate and raise new and interesting issues at CSCW. With panels we want to provide a forum for discussing provocative, controversial, innovative, emerging, boundary-spanning and boundary-breaking issues.

While paper sessions provide detailed discussions of work recently completed, panels provide an opportunity to explore what is on the horizon — or what is already here but not adequately recognized, acknowledged or discussed.

Important Dates

• Monday, October 7, 2013, 5:00pm PDT: Submissions due
• Thursday, November 7, 2013: Notification of acceptance

Criteria for Successful Panels

The best panels provide opportunities for audience participation. We especially encourage innovative formats that will:

• Address relevant, critical and contemporary topics
• Engage the audience and provoke discussion
• Engage multiple disciplines and perspectives in productive dialog

Submitting a Proposal

Panel proposals should be no longer than 4 pages in the SIGCHI Extended Abstracts format.

They should include:

• The panel topic
• Details of the panelists presented as one-paragraph biographical sketches describing their expertise
• The proposed structure and format of the panel, including how you intend to encourage interaction with the audience
• Technical requirements

Panel submissions should be e-mailed to the Panels Co-Chairs at [log in to unmask].

If you would like some feedback from the Panel Co-Chairs before submission, you are welcome to write to us anytime.

Accepted Proposals

Accepted proposals will be published in the ACM Digital Library and distributed to attendees as part of the Conference Extended Abstracts.
