• Diversity, access, inclusion, and community archives



The Program Committee encourages proposals of panel sessions, student and professional posters, as well as alternative formats such as a debate, fish bowl, lightning, mini-workshop, pecha kucha, world café, and other session formats that encourage interaction between presenters and attendees. Please see the proposal form (https://goo.gl/forms/FvVtPGednEWI5rSz1) for more detailed information about alternative sessions.
