If you have an incomplete session (eg a panel with only two papers), you may wish to click on View Single Paper Listing to see if any of the papers listed could be used to complete your session proposal. Should you find papers in the listing that complement your scholarship, reach out to the paper submitters and ask if they would like to be part of a panel. If they do, please ask them for the email address associated with their membership and for the All Academic Code/Proposal Code found on their individual paper confirmation. Reach out to Mary Arnstein if you have questions.

Please read through the requirements for each. Eg Seminar participants must submit their papers well in advance of the conference and will be scheduled in TWO session slots. Workshops are a new session format for groups who want to discuss resources, issues, skills, etc.

As a session organizer, you'll need the name of the other participants, the session abstract, the session title, the individual paper titles, the individual paper abstracts, the name of the chair and/or respondent. (If you are using a paper from the Single Paper Listing, you'll need the author's willingness to be on your panel, the email address the author has listed in their membership profile, and the author's All Academic Code, which may also be referred to as Proposal Code.
If a submitter on the Single Paper Listing has agreed to participate on your panel, put their All Academic Code (found in their submission and their submission confirmation email) in this field, along with the email address associated with their account.
Their paper title and abstract will be transferred into your submission.

Remember, the paper presenters must be from more than one university/institution, must include at least one non-CIS male, must be from different career stages (eg not all grad students or not all senior scholars), and may not be an undergraduate.

You'll need to log in, click Submit or Edit a Proposal, find the proposal you need to edit, and resume your work. All edits must be made by the submission deadline!
Note: please don't worry about the text that says "Keywords: No Data Entered." Instead, please check to make sure that the words you selected relative to Time Period, Content, and Approach appear.

Submission receipt (not pictured)

Please disregard that text and, instead, please check to make sure that the words you selected relative to Time Period, Content, and Approach appear.
