Workshops

Workshops will take place during the conference and will form part of the main program. This year we are only accepting proposals for half-day (3 hour) workshops.

Workshops are intended to provide a forum for exchanging ideas, sharing experiences, fostering conversation and research communities, learning from each other, exploring controversies, engaging in debate, envisioning future directions and elaborating new methods and perspectives.

Workshop activities can range from open forum discussion, to demonstrations or presentations with discussion, to collaborative activities such as structured brainstorming, illustrative games or role-plays. Whatever the focus or format, organizers will be required to schedule time for conversation, reflection, discussion, and debate. Although we envision most workshop activities to take place in one setting, let us know if your workshop will venture out into other sites in Boulder.

Proposal submission deadline April 17, 2011

Requirements: 

Workshop proposals should include:

  1. a summary of 500 words describing the theme(s) of the workshop
  2. a longer detailed description of the workshop structure, activities and goals
  3. the names, contact information and background of the organizer(s)
  4. the maximum number of participants you'd like to attend the workshop
  5. anticipated A/V requirements.

Please be as specific as possible as it helps us in selection, and in helping you plan the workshop.

Process: 

Workshop participants will be registered on a first come first served basis by the conference committee, so the workshop organizers will not be able to select their participants.

Accepted workshops will be publicized via the EPIC2011 website within a month after organizers are notified. Workshop organizers will also be encouraged to promote EPIC2011 and their workshops to potential attendees. Abstracts of accepted Workshop proposals will be published in the EPIC 2011 Proceedings.

Submission information: 

We welcome your participation. Submission is a two-step process:

  1. Create an account with your email address. A user id will be created for you, and a temporary access password emailed. (You need to do this only once, however many types of submissions you make.)
  2. Submit via the EPIC submission and review system - you will need login credentials from step 1.
