Thanks for a great conference!

CSCW 2008 was a great success! The conference brought together over 500 of the leading practitioners and researchers in collaboration practices and technologies.

Each of the conference technical tracks - Papers + Notes, Posters, Demonstrations, Panels, Videos, and Workshops - provided valuable intellectual give-and-take among members of the community.

The success of the conference demonstrates the continuing growth and vibrance in the increasingly important field of technology-mediated communication, coordination and collaboration.

Demonstrations, Videos and Interactive Posters!

The development of the CSCW 2008 program is continuing. There are still three important opportunities to participate in the CSCW program. The conference is particularly interested in submissions of Demonstrations of new collaborative technologies.

The conference will have demonstration reception as well as a new class of "integrated" demonstrations. CSCW includes Interactive Posters, which provides the chance to interact with other conference attendees around your late-breaking ideas and research results.

For more details about the topics at the conference, consult the Call for Participation section. Lastly, Videos provide the opportunity to illustrate and explain a system or collaborative interaction technique that is difficult to illustrate in a live demo or through static posters and text.

We have the Opening and Closing Keynote speakers confirmed and they are fabulous! The Opening Keynote will be given by Cory Ondrejka a co-founder of Second Life and the Closing Keynote will be given by Sara Diamond, president of the Ontario College of Art & Design. There is more information about our speakers on our Keynote Speakers page.
