Looks like an interesting conference - can't have a better opening
panel. Maybe a good place for some WebLabs papers?

> CONFERENCE SUMMARY
> In today's schools, homes, and public spaces, children are becoming
frequent and
> experienced users of technology. As this trend continues, it is
increasingly
> important to ask if we understand today's young people and can fulfill
their
> technology needs. With this in mind, IDC 2004 will focus on addressing
the
> challenges of interaction design for children and explore the
opportunities and
> impact that new technologies can afford young people in their everyday
lives.
>
> To address emerging research and product areas, IDC 2004 will look for
papers,
> demonstrations, posters, doctoral proposals, tutorials and workshop
submissions
> that may include at least one of the following broad areas:
>
>         **Emerging technologies for children (e.g., educational
simulations,
> online games, mobile communications devices, wireless embedded
technologies,
> authoring/programming tools)
>         **The impact these technologies can have on children's lives
(e.g., in
> schools, at home, in public spaces)
>         **New research methods which give children a voice in the
design,
> development, and evaluation processes (e.g., participatory design
methods,
> usability testing, etc.)
