#01: call for papers:
- examples:
---- http://mediaarthistories.blogspot.com/search?q=call+for+papers
---- http://mediaarthistories.blogspot.com/2008/05/call-for-proposals-media-in-motion.html
- might be about a year before the conference takes place
- names the topic of the conference and sub-topics (which might become the topics for the individual panels)
- short outline of the conference
- formal aspects of the call for papers (CFP):
--- amount of words
--- what they want you to submit (formats allowed, if they want a biography, abstract,..)
--- deadline
--- contact info
proposals:
usually, a proposal includes:
a title; the name, affiliation, and e-mail address of the author; a short abstract (about 300 words); sometimes a statement how your proposal fits in with the conference's topics (--> mentioned in the call for papers --> helps the organizers to decide in which panel to put a presentation)
#02: structure of a conference:
- example: http://www.mediaarthistory.org/navbar-links/refresh/origprogram.html
- a conference has a specific topic
- to approach this topic from various sides, the conference is structured into panels or sessions, each of them has a narrower aspect of the conference as a topic
- each panel has a host and a number of speakers (usually 3 to 4)
- the individual presentation address a narrower aspect of the panel's topic
- each speaker usually has about 20 minutes to present
- after all the presentations are over, there is a questions and answers section, which lasts between 15 and 20 minutes
tasks of the host:
- intrioducing the panel's topics with a few sentences
- introducing each speaker (name, interests/short bio,...)
- keeping track of each speaker's time
- moderating the q/a-process
- ending the panel by thanking the speakers and audience, announcing further events
speakers:
- time to present: usually about 20 minutes --> train and rehearse before!
- parts of the oresentation:
-- introduction/outline of topic
------> most people thank the organizers;
------> have a good sentence to start with
- main part
- conclusion
------> get back to your initial question and sum up your results
- don't end with "that's it", find a better way
