GHTC 2016 Releases Call for Papers
Join your peers in Seattle, WA on October 13-16, 2016
Seattle – February 15, 2016 – Today the IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC) Committee announced its 2016
Call for Papers. The sixth annual GHTC will take place in Seattle, Washington, USA, October 13– 16th 2016. See details at
www.ieeeghtc.org.
Organized by
IEEE, the world’s largest technical professional society with over 400,000 members in over 160 countries, IEEE GHTC is where multiple disciplines interact to identify,
create and advance technology to benefit humanity. It is the perfect venue for those interested in humanitarian projects to join their peers in Seattle. The conference will feature interactive sessions where attendees can share best practices and lessons learned that
complement the workshops, panels, case studies, keynote speakers, posters, and technical presentations. Refer to the
Call for Papers page at the GHTC website,
www.ieeeghtc.org for details and requirements for abstract submission.
We encourage those from academia, for-profit and non-profit businesses, governmental and non-governmental organizations to submit proposals and papers; to gather together in
Seattle; and to discuss how technology can benefit the resource-constrained and vulnerable populations in the world as well as improve disaster response. GHTC’s unique focus on humanitarian technology provides visibility and recognition for humanitarian work
and projects. Its interactive nature provides a fertile environment for identifying resources, ideas, collaborators, and potential partners or investors.
Authors may submit the initial abstract for a paper or poster presentation; or a
proposal for a case study, panel discussion, and workshop. We especially encourage the
inclusion of case studies and topics that are appropriate for interactive sessions.
Submission of a full paper is required after initial abstract acceptance.
All submissions require an abstract for initial review and acceptance submitted online, and following the author guidelines at
www.ieeeghtc.org/author-central.
