Showcase Review Submission Form

Showcase Reviewer Submission Form

  • In order to inform our selection process, we ask that you grade each paper or proposal in relation to quality, fit, and innovation. Please also provide an overall recommendation, and an assessment of your expertise in relation to the paper and proposal. Finally, we offer space for open comments. The “comments to the author section” is for helpful feedback that will be shared anonymously with authors. Only the conference committee and staff will have access to the other portions of your review.

    We have had an overwhelming response to the call for proposals, so the selection process will be challenging. While the quality of the papers and proposals is the most important criteria, we are also committed to highlighting a diversity of perspectives and innovative work that speaks to core values of expanding access and progressive and catalytic innovation. We are hugely grateful for your service to our community and your candid assessments.
