Sunday I leave for Chicago, where I’ll be attending the ACM CSCW (computer-supported collabortive work) conference. The technical program runs Monday through Wednesday, and I’m speaking on a panel that danah boyd put together Wednesday. The topic is “The Use of Digital Backchannels in Shared Physical Spaces,” and the list of other participants on the panel is great.
I’ve skimmed through the list of speakers, and recognize a few names from both the literature and from the Microsoft social software symposium back in the spring. Who’s going that’s not speaking?
And what’s the chance of a blogger meetup in Chicago while I’m there? In addition to seeing the information highwayman and his faithful sidekick, there are a few Chicago bloggers I’d love to meet (or see again). I’ll be there from Sunday afternoon through Wednesday afternoon, staying at the Hilton—and at present, I have no evening plans.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference who's going to cscw?:
One of my professors from Uni here (University of Technology, Sydney) is presenting in the Doctoral Consortium.

Her name is Samantha Harvey. She's really interesting. Maybe you'll meet here there (though I'm assuming there's a large amount of people attending)
You could use me as an initial topic of conversation :-) Anyway, just a suggestion. Hope it's a good time.
I hate to double-comment, but I forgot to say that she was just offered a 3 month internship with IBM and will be coming to the US in the new year. Just a bit of background info. You'll have to tell me if you meet.
I'm also going. I'll be presenting at one of the workshops on Saturday, but the rest of the week I'll be one of the anonymous listeners.
I wanted to go but it's kind of pricey for grad students! :)
I'll be there - I live here. Has anyone talked about a blogger dinner yet? Tuesday night around 7pm would be super. (Following the 'KM Chicago' meeting.)
If there is a hookup, I'd love to know - work has taken me away from CSCW except on the weekend tutorials and Monday's Kapor Plenary, but there's an off chance some blogging dinner would be enticing....
