Panels Submissions
1. How do I submit a panel?
All submissions must be through the SIGGRAPH 2005
online submission system. TOP
2. What formats will you accept for panelist statements, panel descriptions,
etc.?
Plain ASCII text only. Please do not send HTML, PDF, Postscript, or .doc
files. TOP
3. Can I extend the deadline?
No. All deadlines are final. TOP
4. I'm a public relations representative for a wonderful company/person. How
can I get my person heard?
Please have your person submit a topic, or wait until you see the topics, and
have your person submit a panelist position paper. That's really the only way to
participate. TOP
5. I already have a group of five people who would like to form a panel. Can
we submit as a group?
Not really. One of you may submit the panel topic and suggest the others as
possible panelists. If the topic is selected, the rest of your group can
submit position papers, but we cannot promise that any members of your group
will be selected. TOP
6. I'm an expert or author of a certain application. Can I propose a panel on
that application?
Application talks aren't really panels, so unless you figure out a really
cool way of making it a conversation, the jury probably won't accept it. TOP
7. If my topic is selected in the first round, am I guaranteed a spot at
SIGGRAPH 2005?
Not necessarily. Once the topic is selected, round two determines the
panelists. If we don't find enough panelists, we can't present the panel. TOP
Panels Content
8. How do I prepare to be a panelist?
Once you're accepted as a panelist, we'll introduce you to your
co-panelists, so you can figure out an interesting direction for the
conversation. We're looking for varying opinions on the panel subject, so we
hope you'll have a chance to understand and talk about your differences and
similarities. TOP
9. What do I have to do as a moderator?
The moderator's responsibility is to wrangle the panelists before the
session. During the panel, the moderator keeps the conversation alive and
lively, encouraging conversation and debate. The moderator can have an
opinion, but must know and be sympathetic to all sides of the argument,
beginning and ending as an objective observer. TOP
10. What, exactly, do panels cover?
You can design a panel to talk about a central question, a set of problems,
or a methodology. TOP
11. Do we have to argue on a panel?
No. We're not necessarily looking for a fight, but we don't want you all to
agree wholeheartedly, either. We want a great and fabulous conversation on
something about which you're passionate. TOP
12. What materials do we prepare?
If you're the moderator, you might want to prepare something to set
the context of the panel. If you're a panelist, though, you might want to
start with a quick intro and state your position, but you should only show
materials if they emphasize your opinion and inspire conversation. TOP
13. I just want to show all the really cool stuff I'm doing. OK?
Not OK. Panels are for conversation, dialogue, debate, and discussion. If you
want to present your work, please send your work to Papers or
Sketches, or organize a Course. TOP
