[Stacey Pigg]

Dear colleagues,

The SIGDOC 2020 conference committee is making final preparations for our
virtual event, which will take place next week from October 5-9. We write
to share more information about the online conference and invite you to
register. Registration is free for SIGDOC members, and membership costs
only $35 USD (or $25 for students).

Beginning Monday, registrants will have access to over 60 presentations in
video and poster form that can be viewed at your convenience. In addition,
our live events program
<http://sigdoc.acm.org/conference/2020/program/#page-content> includes a
keynote, interactive panels on pandemic communication and antiracist
research, an editor's roundtable, our student research competition, and an
academia-industry meetup and networking event to close the conference. A
table listing our live events is below.

Collaborative Networks to Support Women of Color in User-Experience and
Technology Design" will be delivered via Zoom on Wednesday, October 7
by Estefania Castillo, Laura Gonzales, Bibhushana Poudyal, Nora Rivera, Joy
Robinson, Ann Shivers-McNair, and Tetyana Zhyvotovska.

Although we'd looked forward to a joint event in Denton, TX with CPTSC,
we hope that you'll attend CPTSC's events online this week and then join
ours next week. If you have any questions, please contact me.
