Hello all! I'm sure that many of you may be familiar with CSCW, but if not, there is a wonderful amount of overlap with this community. This is also the first year where conference publications have moved to a journal model (Proceedings of the ACM) which we hope will help open up the community to other disciplines. The conference is coming up in November, and the early registration deadline is next Monday. There are also still opportunities to participate formally via workshops. More information below! Computer Supported Cooperative Work & Social Computing (CSCW) is the premiere venue for discussing how people, groups, and communities engage with new technology. This year, CSCW is happening on New York City’s Hudson River on November 5-7, which is why we are reaching out to you, fellow technologists, data scientists, user experience designers, and others similarly curious about the way computing affects our lives. We are excited to have CSCW back in the New York area, as the city is rapidly becoming a global center for tech innovation. To register for the conference, to find a workshop where you can submit to participate, or make travel arrangements, please see the following links: Register for CSCW: http://cscw.acm.org/2018/attend/registration.html Reserve a hotel room: http://cscw.acm.org/2018/attend/hotel.html Find workshops: http://cscw.acm.org/2018/program/workshops.html The early registration deadline has been extended to Monday, September 17! There will also be daycare options available at the conference, more information forthcoming. CSCW will be especially exciting this year! This will be the largest CSCW conference to date, with almost 300 papers from the two submission rounds, provocative panels<https://cscw.acm.org/2018/program/panels.html>, inspiring keynotes (to be announced) and other exciting sessions. You can find the tentative overview schedule for the conference on the website<https://cscw.acm.org/2018/>. The final presentation schedule will be posted soon, but authors (and others) can check out the preliminary session schedule<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lSI3Nb3XyWGGzscJlF_eBKVx7X-KgQA4dP6EinhR0Kk/edit?usp=sharing> to better plan ahead. If you have questions, feel free to email me! You can also sign up for the mailing list on the website, to receive further information. See you on the Hudson. :) Casey Fiesler CSCW 2018 Communications Co-Chair --- Casey Fiesler Assistant Professor, Department of Information Science University of Colorado Boulder www.caseyfiesler.com<http://www.caseyfiesler.com> @cfiesler<http://www.twitter.com/cfiesler>
