Workshops - for Participants

CHI 2007 is offering a variety of workshops for the first two days of the conference (28-29 April, 2007). Workshops are a chance for members of a community with common interests to meet in the context of a focused discussion. You are invited to apply to participate in any of the workshops.

A workshop may be one or two days in length. Workshops typically have 15 to 25 participants. If you are interested in being a workshop participant, you must submit a position paper to the workshop organizers. Position papers are reviewed by the workshop organizers using their own criteria, and workshop organizers decide on the final list of workshop participants.
