Call for Panel Proposals

 IEEE VR 2011 seeks creative proposals for engaging panels.

Panels are designed to generate lively discussions incorporating differing points of view around significant or controversial topics. Panel sessions should not be structured as a series of individual, stand-alone presentations, but rather should address thought-provoking material that is presented in a lively manner. Panels should not be used to present a commercial product, nor be limited to the views of one individual. The goal should be to involve all panel participants and engage the audience as much as possible.

Interested parties are invited to submit proposals for interactive panel sessions with the goal of addressing a specific VR or related topic from several perspectives.

Panel proposals should be submitted electronically and should include:

• A title for the panel session
• A brief description of the overall issues to be discussed (roughly 500 words)
• The names, contact information, and short (roughly 100 words each) biographies for the organizer and each panelist. Panelists should come from multiple organizations.
  

SUBMISSION DEADLINE:

 The deadline for panel submissions is: November 19, 2010.

Panel submissions must be submitted via email to the Panels Chairs.

For more information, to inquire about a particular panel topic, or to submit a proposal, please contact the Panels Chairs:
