> WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
>
> Workshops are half day or full day sessions prior to the main conference
> program on 29 June 2011. Workshop proposals (max of 2 pages, using the
> ACM SIGCHI two column layout available
> athttp://www.sigchi.org/chipubform) should be aimed at a community with a
> common interest. If you are working in an emerging area of Communities
> and Technologies, consider organising a workshop as an opportunity to
> advance the field and build momentum. C&T workshops might address
> basic or applied research and practice, new methodologies, emerging
> application areas, design innovations, management and organisational
> issues, or education. Each workshop should generate ideas that give the
> C&T community a new, organised way of thinking about the topic, or
> ideas that suggest promising directions for future research. Some
> workshops result in edited books or special issues of journals; you may
> consider including this goal in your workshop proposal.
>
> Please send proposals to Jaz Choi, Workshop Chair: h.choi AT
> qut.edu.au
>
>
> DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM
>
> The Doctoral Consortium is scheduled prior to the main conference program
> on 29 June 2011. The Doctoral Consortium offers research students a
> special forum where they can present, discuss and progress their research
> plans with peers and established senior researchers. Research students
> wishing to attend the consortium should submit 4 pages, using the ACM
> SIGCHI two column layout available at
>
> http://www.sigchi.org/chipubform, addressing 4 headings: Aims and
> Background; Significance and Innovation; Methodology; Questions and
> Issues (that is, identify those areas you seek feedback on). Places at
> the consortium will be offered based on a review of the submitted
> proposals.
>
> Please send applications to Christine Satchell, Doctoral Consortium
> Chair: christine.satchell AT qut.edu.au

> VOLUNTEERS
>
> C&T actively encourages students to volunteer at the conference.
> Being a student volunteer is a great way to support the research
> community, meet other students in the field, and attend an international
> ACM conference. You will help the conference organisers with the running
> of the conference and support the setting-up of presentations and
> workshops. You will see the latest in C&T research and development,
> and have fun while learning about running the conference. In return, you
> will get free registration. To apply, email us your contact details
> (email, phone, university), an abstract of your research project, a CV,
> and the reasons why you would like to be a student volunteer.
> Applications close on 30 April 2011.
