IASIL 07 UCD GUIDELINES FOR PANELS

Prospective panel chairs should note the following:

• We are accepting proposals for single panels of 3-4 speakers.
• It is the responsibility of panel chairs to choose speakers for their panels. Such speakers should submit paper proposals directly to panel chairs, and not to the conference organisers.
• Panel chairs will be asked to determine their speakers’ availability and requirements.
• Each panel will last for 75-100 minutes. Each paper on a panel should not exceed 20 minutes. You are asked to ensure that ample time is left for discussion and questions with the audience.
• All speakers in your panel must be members of IASIL.
• All speakers in your panel must pay the conference registration fee. Registration details will be announced in April 2007.
• Individual speakers on your panel are responsible for their own registration, travel and visa arrangements, accommodation, etc. Any panellist who is not a member of IASIL or a registered conference participant will not be permitted to speak.
• You may issue a call for papers for your panel by any means suitable to you.

Please include the following information with your proposal:

• A 500 word description of your panel, giving both the overall scope and purpose of the topic and details on the individual papers.
• The full title of your panel.
• Details/titles of papers and speakers, if these have been arranged.
• Your name, postal address and e-mail address.
• Your institutional affiliation and position (eg professor, postgraduate student, etc.).
• Any AV requirements you might have.
• Any dates on which you or any of your speakers will definitely not be available.
• Your IASIL membership status (eg – present member; membership to be renewed; membership application submitted/to be submitted).

If you are submitting your proposal by e-mail, please send it in plain text in the body of your e-mail and as an attachment in a Word document. Thank you.
