Call for Workshop Proposals
Propose a focused program before or around the conference.
Workshops are focused programs for discussion, collaboration, and hands-on exploration of emerging areas, held before or alongside the main conference. We invite proposals for workshops on emerging research, open challenges, and community discussion, on one or more of the Cross-AI Topics. To propose a single moderated discussion rather than a full program, see the Call for Panel Proposals.

After Acceptance
Organizer Responsibilities
Organizers will:
- Coordinate workshop content, speakers, and participants.
- Publicize the workshop and manage paper and abstract submissions.
- Organize the review process and moderate the workshop.
- Provide the final program and materials.
Cross-AI will provide standard online Zoom meeting support.
Publication and Media Hosting
Workshop proposals are archival: accepted workshops submit a final abstract for publication in the proceedings. Papers, abstracts, and media from workshop submissions follow the Publication and Media Hosting guidelines.
Complimentary Registration
Each organizer will receive one or more complimentary registrations, with the number determined by accepted workshop submissions.
Travel and Accommodation
For online sessions, travel is not required, and no travel funding is provided.
For in-person sessions, the main conference does not provide travel or accommodation funding for panels or workshops. Organizers and invited speakers are responsible for their own travel and accommodation expenses. Organizers may seek external funding to support invited speakers.
