Possibly of interest to change folks! -mj ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Doug Schuler <douglas@publicsphereproject.org> Date: Thu, Aug 19, 2021 at 3:02 PM Subject: The SIGCAS Showcase is coming soon... To: <SIGCAS-ANNOUNCE@listserv.acm.org> Greetings to SIGCAS members — old and new! I especially wanted to welcome our new members who learned about SIGCAS through their involvement with the recent COMPASS conference. We're hoping to hear from you on issues related to climate, sustainability, and the environment. (And whatever else!) Please feel free to share the following with your friends and colleagues. The SIGCAS Showcase is fast approaching Help shape the future! SIGCAS (Virtual) Showcase September 9-10 (program takes place over two half-days) (Free, but registration is required) Registration: https://eventbrite.com/e/sigcas-showcase-tickets-167021914041 More info: https://www.sigcas.org/events/sigcas_showcase/ SIGCAS, ACM's Special Interest Group on Computers & Society, is honoring two award-winners and convening panels on a variety of topics. Climate change, education, social issues in the computing industry, computing after COVID & more! [image: SIGCAS_Showcase.png] We're also having a special Town Hall at the event. Please help us establish our agenda for SIGCAS as we move into the Cyberpocene. I and the other board members are eager to discuss issues and interests and possible events and projects with other SIGCAS members. There's no obligation to join SIGCAS to attend the Showcase, nor is there any obligation to join ACM to join SIGCAS. Join SIGCAS here: https://services.acm.org/public/qj/gensigqj/login_gensigqj.cfm?rdr=promo=QJS... We welcome your voice and your ideas and membership in SIGCAS is inexpensive. What are the issues brought about by computerization and what should be done about them? How do we understand the opportunities and challenges?
