Conference Submission System: https://www.conftool.pro/iConference13/
We’re closing in on the final major iConference 2013 submissions deadline. Poster abstracts, workshop proposals, alternative events and doctoral colloquium applications are all due Monday, September 24. Everyone is encouraged to finalize their submissions as soon as possible. 

Learn more at http://www.ischools.org/iConference13/participation/
Posters: We welcome submission of Posters presenting new work, preliminary results and designs, or educational projects. Applicants will submit an abstract, maximum 1,500 words (not including references), describing the proposed Poster, and these abstracts will undergo a single-blind blind review process. Abstract submissions will be in PDF format. Completed Posters will be presented at the iConference. Visit the Posters webpage for more information: http://www.ischools.org/iConference13/posters/ 
Workshops: Workshops can be half- or full-day and can focus on any area related the conference theme (Scholarship in Action) or more broadly to the purview of the iSchools, namely, the relationships among information, people, and technology. Submission will be in PDF format, and additional information submission guidelines are provided on the Workshops webpage: http://www.ischools.org/iConference13/workshops/ 
Alternative Events: These can range from more traditional panels and demonstrations to all manner of cutting-edge events and activities; see our website for suggested examples, and then let your imagination run wild. All should be highly participatory, informal, engaging, and pluralistic. Submission will be in PDF format, and additional information and submission guidelines are provided on the Alternative Events: http://www.ischools.org/iConference13/alternative_events/
Doctoral Colloquium: The doctoral student colloquium will provide doctoral students the opportunity to present their work to senior faculty and one another in a setting that is relatively informal but that allows for the fullest of intellectual exchanges. Students will receive feedback on their dissertation and/or current research from participating faculty and student peers. As in the past, the iCaucus is seeking NSF funding to help offset student expenses, which would potentially make the colloquium a low-cost way for accepted participants to attend this year’s conference. Visit the doctoral colloquium webpage for more information: http://www.ischools.org/iConference13/doctoral/

Additional Participation Opportunities: FUSE Labs of Microsoft Research is sponsoring a Social Media Expo, and will send student teams to the iConference to exhibit their work—another low-cost way for students to attend! Our Special Workshop on Information Privacy is an opportunity to share your expertise on this crucial topic. Both have later deadlines; visit our conference website for details.

iConference 2013 takes place February 12-15, 2013 in Fort Worth, TX. It is presented by the iSchools and hosted by the University of North Texas. The presenting sponsor is Microsoft Research, with additional support from Emerald Publishing. Conference registration opens in November. We hope you'll make plans to join us!
