I think it has raised close to $200K for SIGCHI alone, drawing over 100 people the last two of the four or five times is has been offered at CHI. The material is substantially the same as described here: http://www.acm.org/sigchi/chi97/proceedings/tutorial/gp.htm This is fundamental material presented with hands-on exercises at a fast pace. Participants leave with skill, materials, and procedures. I am giving the tutorial at other conferences (e.g., SIGDOC in October). I submitted a proposal to CHI last year but it was rejected for what I thought were some pretty lame reasons, but on the positive side, at least I was not involved in SIGCHI's largest financial disaster ever. :-) I hope the track record and description are enough information for review. Best of luck with the tutorials!

For this year, we have already received several submissions for tutorials on a similar topic to yours (some of which were highly rated at the last two CHI conferences). The page you pointed us to does not contain enough details for us to compare your proposal to the others. We would also want to know how you have updated the tutorial during the last five years. First and foremost, we are interested in developing a balanced tutorial program (e.g., new and old, different topics, focus on CHI 2003 special areas, instructor's past record). This may mean that not all of the highly-rated tutorials are accepted, especially if there is overlap with others. We will be happy to review your tutorial proposal and we will definitely take your track record into consideration. However, all proposals to be considered for selection in the CHI 2003 program must follow the submission guidelines outlined in: http://www.chi2003.org/tutorials.html#submitting to enable us to make an informed decision and to have the required materials for the advance program. If you wish to have your tutorial be considered, please provide the required proposal packet.
