Steering Committee Overview
The ACM Hypertext Conference is the foremost international conference on hypertext and hypermedia. It brings together scholars, researchers and practitioners from a diverse array of disciplines, united by a shared interest in innovative textual and multimedia information spaces - with emphasis on augmenting human capabilities via linking, structure, authoring, annotation and interaction.
The Hypertext Steering Committee seeks to guide and advise future conference organisers to ensure this ethos is maintained. In addition to the committee members, Hypertext conferences can also draw upon the advice of SIGWEB members through a community consultation at each Hypertext conference and via the Committee Wiki (member's only).
Committee Makeup
The Hypertext Steering committee officers consist of three permanent members, which are the Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer of SIGWEB. The permanent members hold their places on the steering committee for the duration of their SIGWEB term. The committee also includes the general chairs of previous Hypertext Conferences for a rotating 3 year period.
The steering committee also consults an international advisory panel. All members leaving the steering committee will be given the option to join the advisory panel at the end of their term. Advisory panel members who have not given advice for the last two years will be removed.
