[Sigia-l] Call for Submissions: Interaction08

[Apologies for the Cross-Posting]

The Interaction Design Association (IxDA) is now accepting  
submissions for its first annual conference to be held in hip,  
historic Savannah, Georgia, USA on February 8-10, 2008.

Submissions are for Lightning Session slots, each of which is 25  
minutes in duration around a single topic. Single or duo speakers are  
allowed, but no panels, please. Please submit only one idea per  
person. There are 14 open Lightning Session slots.

Lightning Session speakers will receive free admission to the  
conference.

Topics for Lightning Sessions can be around anything relating to the  
field of interaction design; that is, anything focused on the  
behavior of products and services in response to human action. Our  
potential attendees are particularly interested in tactical,  
practical information around methods, prototyping techniques,  
documentation, mobile, physical computing, and information  
visualization. We are interested in fields related to interaction  
design (e.g., information architecture, visual and industrial design,  
coding), but only as they relate to interaction design.

The deadline for submissions is September 15, 2007. Lightning Session  
speakers will be determined by the IxDA Conference Committee and  
announced on October 31, 2007.

Submit a session title and abstract via this form:

Confirmed keynote and session speakers for the conference currently  
include Alan Cooper, Bill Buxton, Sigi Moeslinger, Malcolm  
McCullough, Jared Spool, Regine Debatty, Dan Brown, Molly Wright  
Steenson, Aza Raskin, Sarah Allen, and Matt Jones. We will also host  
pre-conference workshops taught by Marc Rettig, Darja Isaksson, and  
Todd Warfel. Further conference information and registration will be  
available shortly.

I hope you'll submit a session and I'll see you in Savannah!
