Submitting your work

Attendees can also be authors. The submission portal lists every open program for the conference and is your entry point to submit work.

Purpose

To choose which program (or track) you're submitting to, so you can start a paper, proposal, or poster submission. Submitting automatically makes you an Author for that conference.

When you use it

Use it while a conference's calls are open. The portal's Submit Paper/Proposal quick action checks for open programs first: if none exist yet, it tells you to check back later instead of opening an empty page.

Every submission goes to a program that takes submissions: a main program, a workshop, or a program that collects proposals. Groups such as Workshops only hold other programs: you submit to one of the workshops inside them.

Walkthrough

1. 1

   Open the conference portal (/portal/<id>) and click Submit Paper, or use Submit Your Work on the conference home page. You'll be prompted to sign in if needed.

2. 2

   Browse the Available Submission Programs. Each card shows the program name and its submission type (Paper, Proposal, Poster, or a custom type). A card shows the program's description only if its chairs chose to display it; otherwise the list stays short and easy to scan. Cards show no dates and no Past due mark, because each category of a program can have its own deadline: you see the deadline for your category in the submission form, which also tells you when it has closed.

3. 3

   A group program (one that holds workshops or sub-events) has a Sub-Programs button instead of Submit. It jumps to (and opens) the group's own section below the program cards (for example Workshops), where each workshop has its own Submit. A group with no workshops yet shows No sub-programs yet.

4. 4

   Click the program's submission button to open the submission form and fill in your title, abstract, authors, and files.
