*Call for participation: CSCW 2013 Panels*

Submissions for Panels at CSCW 2013 are due on Friday, November 2, 2012.

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.

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 in productive dialog 

How to submit:
Panel proposals should be no longer than 4 pages in the SIGCHI Extended Abstracts format. They should include:
- The panel topic
- Details of the panellists 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 

Panel submissions should be e-mailed to [log in to unmask] All panel submissions are due by 5:00pm (17:00) Pacific Daylight Time on November 2, 2012. 

Notification of acceptance will be Thursday November 29, 2012.

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