One Show Design, due January 31

Once upon a time, you dreamt of finding that ONE amazing idea. Now each and every night, as the clock ticks away, your mind still wanders to a beautiful, magical place. Lost in your own little world where time and space give way to creative euphoria. Eight o’clock, ten-thirty, eleven-thirty- ONE. Here, deadlines giggle and surrender to the tickling of puppy-dog kisses. Fuzzy bunnies suggest that ONE perfect typeface. And hey, there are happy clouds! They’re smiling and giving you high-fives and singing, “You are number ONE!” Then suddenly, you find what you’ve been searching for. That’s it. That’s the ONE. “Oh, thank you, grizzly bear! It’s beautiful!” And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, you spring to your feet and enter something ONEDERFUL.

Sponsored by The One Club. See http://www.oneclub.org/oc/organization/mission/ for more information.

THE THIRD GLOBAL INTERACTION IN DESIGN CONFERENCE, abstracts due Feb 15

THE THIRD GLOBAL INTERACTION IN DESIGN CONFERENCE

Date: November 7, 2012 | Theme: Consumed
*Call for proposals*

You are invited to present at the 3rd Global Interaction in Design Conference to be held virtually on November 7, 2012. GLIDE is a biennial, virtual conference that disseminates cutting-edge research on topics related to interaction between designers and global communities. The purpose of a virtual-only format is to bridge cultural and geographic divides in an eco-friendly way.

GLIDE12 will promote research and critical thinking on international issues surrounding food, nutrition, and health. Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Challenges or rewards of food production and consumption
- Hunger and the human ability to survive in diverse agricultural environments
- The culture of food systems globally
- The role of culture, technology, sustainability infrastructures, and eco-systems in addressing the issue of hunger and nutrition and the pursuit of good health.
- Best practices for the development of food systems through the use of language and data collection
- Agribusiness as a resource for information that best serves local farmers and community based greenhouse projects
- Collaborative teams and methods for the creation of more effective food systems
- The role of social media to manage food systems, good nutrition, and health
- The role of public policy makers to increase better systems with food displacement
- The role of art and design in effecting good health or engendering healthy habits

Today, food is no longer viewed simply for nourishment, pleasure or an overly mass-produced product. Now, due to global industrialization, the way humans interact with food systems and production has reached a critical mass, requiring citizens of the world to consider the introduction of new methods, technological systems and research that will enable cultures to remain healthy and viable in the unforeseeable future.

GLIDE’12 aims to address a range of critically important ideas relating to the globalization of food production and consumption as well as focusing on specific themes such as sustainability and systems design addressed by curated presentations from leading researchers, design practitioners, scientists, public policy makers, educators and doctoral students. GLIDE12 presenters will deliver groundbreaking topics that will inspire, motivate and expand your knowledge of global food consumption and production for nutrition and good health.

You may submit full paper proposals for synchronous presentation or poster paper proposals for asynchronous presentation on topics related to the conference theme.

Submissions Guidelines:
Submit a 500-word abstract in pdf or word format by February 15, 2012. Send your proposal to submissions@glideconference.org with the subject line:
[Insert your last name], Abstract for GLIDE12. Proposals will undergo a review process according to the following schedule:

- Notification of acceptance with comments: March 15
- First draft full and poster papers: July 15
- Notification of acceptance with comments: August 15

GLIDE is an interdisciplinary conference.
