HASTAC II – Call For Proposals

We are seeking interactive demos, posters (both electronic
and print), and lightning talks related to the conference theme.

  • Demos will showcase well-developed digital
    projects to conference attendees who will circulate among the demos. Presenters
    will have a table, projection screen, and wireless internet connection for
    their projects and are expected to remain with their demos and engage with the
    audience for 1.5 hours. Presenters must
    provide their own laptops and any additional technologies needed.
  • Posters: Print posters (no larger than 4 feet
    long x 3 feet wide) and electronic posters are solicited for projects at early
    stages of development. Posters can
    present a research project, idea, intervention, or work-in-progress. For
    electronic posters, presenters must provide all the technology save for screens
    (where needed) (LED projector, computer,
    etc).
  • Lightning Talks (5-8 minutes/each) will be
    grouped according to theme and are designed for maximum impact in a focused
    burst of time. Accepted talks will
    showcase projects and be moderated by representatives from foundations and
    private industry. This is your chance to
    have the spotlight!
