CALL for REVIEWERS

THE CALL FOR REVIEWERS SUBMISSION PERIOD HAS ENDED.

Dear i Conference 2008 Colleagues:

More than 180 proposals for papers, posters, roundtables, and “wild cards” were submitted. About 50% were accepted. So many were excellent; our only regret is that more could not be accepted. Our sincere thanks to everyone who submitted a proposal for conference participation and to everyone who served as a reviewer for proposals. Without all of you we would not have an i Conference nor would we have one as attractive as the 2008 i Conference, i Futures: Systems, Selves, Society, is shaping up to be.

************************************************************************************************

Help create the i Futures: Systems, Selves, Society conference. Be a reviewer!

i Futures: Systems, Selves, Society brings together scholars and professionals who

With invited speakers, paper sessions, a poster session, roundtables, and ample opportunities for conversations and connections, the conference celebrates and engages our multidisciplinary efforts to understand and create the future role of information 
in all human endeavors.

The conference planning committee is seeking reviewers of submissions to the conference.
