How To Engage With CSCW'98

An Important Consideration: CSCW is multi-disciplinary. This is its strength, but it is a challenge for any of us to engage effectively with people who have different priorities, perspectives, research traditions, and even ways of talking. It is necessary to be alert and tolerant. Select the sessions of most interest to you in advance, work to understand where others are coming from, and take away what is useful to you. This exciting program has something new and interesting for every participant, but can require more work than a specialized conference in a single discipline.

Space: The program is arranged to balance the interests of talks and panels scheduled at the same time, and we expect the rooms to accommodate everyone interested in participating. But if you think a session might be particularly popular or if you would especially hate to miss it, arrive a little early and get a good seat.

Features Not To Miss: The CSCW'98 video program can be viewed on your hotel room television or in the Olympic Room on the Mezzanine level any time the conference is in session. You can access the Internet from the Blakely Room on the San Juan level. We highly recommend the Demonstrations Program on Tuesday and have scheduled a reception to coincide with it. Monday evening we'll travel to a reception at the Pacific Science Center by monorail. Finally, two rooms are reserved for Special Interest Groups that you define yourself. You can create or join a SIG on a bulletin board in the Grand Ballroom foyer.
