gblvrIn response to feedback from previous CON.TXTs, we're going to try something a little different with the panel submission process for CON.TXT 2010.
Registered attendees can start submitting ideas NOW for panels on enduring topics that are likely to require extensive preparation -- ones that might include tutorials, workshops, Oxford-style debates, multimedia shows, or extensive handouts. A decision on these panels and a preliminary schedule will be made by mid-March to give the moderators plenty of time to prepare a great panel.
E-mail your proposals or questions no later than Feb. 15 to panels@con-txt.net.
If you have something less complicated in mind, never fear -- in late March, we'll start taking suggestions for panels that are more current and topical and include facilitated discussions, roundtables, and smackdowns that require only normal preparation. Suggestions for these will be finalized by the end of May.
We'll also have a variety of late, last-minute, and on-the-fly panel opportunities that you'll hear more about as the con gets closer.
A note about modding:
We'd like to recruit as moderators not only those who are subject-matter experts, but also those who are good discussion facilitators. In fact, we'd like to pair up people like this, and we might want to add someone with excellent flip-chart handwriting as well. :D Yes, there are some people who can do it all, but please let us know if you want a partner, and also if you want to volunteer to fill any of these roles.
