[ATTW-L] ProComm 2023, Ithaca, NY July 17-20th, 2023 Call For Papers

[Alan Chong]

Greetings, all;

I’m emailing today with news of IEEE ProComm’s 2023 annual conference in Ithaca, NY, July 17-20th, 2023, chaired by Traci Nathans-Kelly and Marie Paretti.

We’re in the process of getting our website ready to launch, and you’ll be able to find information about the conference here shortly: https://attend.ieee.org/procomm-2023/ For now, though, I’ve included the Call for Papers below. Please contact the conference program chairs below if you have any questions about the CFP.

Best,
Alan Chong
IEEE Professional Communication Society


Nobody steps in the same stream twice

Heraclitus once claimed that nobody steps in the same stream twice, for it’s not the same stream and you are not the same person.  For the 2023 conference, ProComm welcomes participants to Ithaca, New York on the campus of Cornell University.  Ithaca—and the Cornell campus—is famous for its waterfalls, streams, and lakes, and from those natural elements we draw our 2023 inspiration.



We encourage proposals for papers, panels, and workshops that draw from the nature of change. Even if we teach the same courses or work in the same companies for many seasons, we all know that each class or each project is a new experience. And if we doubted that before, the last few years have revealed the nature of constant change. We are not the same. Our students and coworkers are not the same. And the world is not the same.



We invite you to share work that explores the shifting dynamics of all that we, as professional communicators, do.  Whether you are in industry or the academy, come and share innovative research, dynamic on-site workflows, changing pedagogies, efforts to integrate social justice into our practices, updated communication technologies, discussions of the ethics of those technologies for our profession, and more. We particularly encourage reports on emerging best practices from industry practitioners.



IEEE ProComm 2023 looks forward to continuing its legacy of innovation and support for its members–one foot on shore and one foot in the changing stream.

Submission Formats

​​For ProComm 2023, you can participate in three possible ways in addition to attending:

1. Propose a paper

2. Propose a panel

3. Propose a workshop

Paper Proposals (Full Papers, Brief Papers, or Extended Abstracts)

For Papers, speakers will typically have 15-20 minutes to present their work. Topics will be grouped along thematic lines during a 75-minute session.

  *   Full Paper. Full Papers are appropriate for late-stage research projects with conclusive results; mature, theoretically-grounded position papers; or papers reporting on a well-tested professional or teaching practice.

  *   Brief Paper.  Brief Papers are appropriate for research and position papers that are works-in-progress, or papers reporting on short-term or experimental professional or teaching practices.

  *   Extended Abstract.  Extended Abstracts are appropriate for participants who would like to bring new ideas to the table for discussion.

All paper proposals will undergo double-blind review.

Panel Proposals

Panels are 75-minute sessions with collaborating presenters. Panels may be organized around a general topic or they may include multiple perspectives on a more specific topic. All members of the panel must register for and attend the conference.


To propose a panel, the organizer should submit an extended abstract that provides a brief description of the panel’s overall goals and each panelist’s contribution to the panel discussion. If the panel is accepted, a camera-ready version of the proposal must be submitted for inclusion in the proceedings.


Individual panelists may, if they wish, also submit a paper (Full, Brief, or Extended Abstract) for review and possible publication in the proceedings. These papers should be submitted separately using the same abstract as the panel proposal.


All panel proposals will undergo double-blind review.

Workshop Proposals

Workshops include one or more facilitators presenting a 75-minute “how to” or “about” session addressing relevant practices, issues, or technologies of interest to professional engineers, technical communication specialists, and/or people teaching in those fields.


Prospective workshop facilitators should provide a 1-2 page proposal of the envisioned content and shape of the workshop (what is this workshop about?), its stated goals (what will attendees learn or take away?), its envisioned audience (who will benefit from attending?), as well as any relevant background information about the workshop facilitator(s) to demonstrate their expertise on the topic. Workshops will be published in IEEE Xplore with the “Workshop” designation at the head of the paper title to serve as a record of its inclusion in the conference.


Workshop proposals do not undergo double-blind review and are selected by the conference team based on the presenter’s expertise, fit, and need.
