| Workshop Details
The entire workshop should focus on the active exchange of ideas
among the participants. Workshops typically accommodate up to
20 participants for a full-day session. Workshops can serve as
the first step in planning books and articles. As the facilitator
of a workshop, you should collect and organize participant position
papers and prepare materials for your participants. Highly successful
workshops arise from a skillful combination of structure and free-form
discussion. The more you plan, the more interesting and engaging
your workshop will be.
Workshop Requirements
During the conference facilitators must present the workshop results,
either as a poster session, or with posters and other materials
to be available in the conference Commons area. After the workshop,
workshop facilitators are required to produce a report in the
form of an article to be published either in User Experience (preferred)
or UPA Voice; these articles must be submitted within three months
after the conference.
