1.  ***Call for Workshop Submissions for CHI'97 Atlanta, GA, USA***

If you can you say YES to any TWO of the following, then you should be
organizing a workshop for CHI'97, the ACM SIGCHI Conference on Human
Factors in Computing Systems.

1.  Been bugged by an issue (research or applied topic), 
    outlandish thought, or an unresolved problem that you have 
    wanted to brainstorm with a group of diverse thinkers?

2.  Want to think about the "future of HCI and the direction it is 
    going" or to envision the evolution of an aspect of HCI 
    over the next 5, 10, 25, 50 years or consider what have been 
    the major breakthroughs during the last 10 years and why?

3.  Interested in being a facilitator for discussions of an 
    important "hot", "interesting",  "thought provoking", and 
    "controversial topic" that involves the future of HCI?

4.  Can help organize and lead a workshop by being the person 
    responsible for coordinating and overseeing the topic, format, 
    and organization of the topic?

5.  Like to communicate with others and help share ideas and thoughts 
    within a group context?

6.  Love to meet people in an intellectually stimulating environment?

7.  Love to stand or sit in front of 20-25 active minds?

Then YOU should be organizing a two day workshop for CHI'97.  The deadline 
for Workshop submissions is September 20, 1996, 5:00 pm PST 
(Pacific Standard Time).  For more specific information about submitting 
a three page workshop proposal access the World Wide Web:

     http://www.acm.org/sigchi/chi97  (general CHI97 information)
     https://chi1997.acm.org/workshops  (workshop specific)

We strongly encourage you submit proposals in the theme of "Looking to
the Future", but we realize that there are many important and
intellectually 

challenging issues that are wild and creative while not futuristic, 
we still welcome workshop submissions on those themes too.
