Explore the Conference

When the Executive Committee made the decision to convert SIGDOC 2020 from an in-person conference to a virtual conference, we program chairs (Josie and Daniel) wondered how we might organize presentations into something like panels. We got excited about the opportunity to use presentation types, categories, and tags to organize and group presentations. That led to the Explore page you’re on now, where you can follow types, tags, and categories to explore the conference’s rich content.

However, we also wanted to pick out some browsing pathways you might not come across on your own. In response, we’ve curated a collection of presentations at the intersection of tags, categories, and search results. You won’t be able to use type, tag, or category to find these collections. We hope you find them meaningful.
