iDigBio coordinates its outreach efforts through the support of workshops, symposia, and other events ("workshops" is a term that is used to refer to any/all of these types of events). Workshops are distinct meeting events, held virtually and/or onsite, that focus on producing clear deliverables and addressing clear objectives. This guide aims to provide an overview of the moving pieces involved in a workshop. Every workshop planner should make themselves familiar with the process outlined here. If you are an iDigBio staff member and need specific details, please look at this Redmine wiki page.
A workshop proposal is required for any workshop, symposia, or other event that will incur any project expenses or significantly utilize project resources.
If you are simply interested in attending a workshop, you can find upcoming workshops, symposia, and other events on the iDigBio Calendar. Information from all of our past workshops is on the iDigBio Workshop Summary page.
It takes a village...
There are many people involved in a workshop at every stage:
- Lead Workshop Organizer -- person ultimately responsible for planning and organizing the workshop
- Workshop Organizers -- planning committee assembled to coordinate, plan, execute, and follow through on the Workshop outcomes; workshops are often supported by an iDigBio Working Group
- Workshop Instructors/Facilitators -- staff or volunteers onsite at a workshop who present content or provide assistance with various aspects
- Workshop Participants -- people who have come to participate and learn from the workshop
- iDigBio Staff Support
- iDigBio Project Manager -- ensures your proposal gets on the agenda for the next Steering Committee meeting; communicates the approval status of your workshop proposal; tracks project-level expenditures and resource allocation
- iDigBio IT Expert -- provides advice on audio, visual, remote broadcasting, and other technical considerations for your workshop; runs the audio/visual/technical aspects of your workshop
- iDigBio Project Evaluator -- prepares the pre- and post-workshop surveys to help you gauge the effectiveness of your workshop; coordinates with the UF Institutional Review Board if the workshop results will be used in publications or conference presentations
- iDigBio Project Assistant/Event Coordinator -- unsung heroes that do "everything else": coordinates hotel contracts, catering contracts, and transportation for your workshop; coordinates travel and reimbursements for workshop participants; coordinates other logistical aspects
Submit your proposal
- Conceive of an idea for a workshop in collaboration with colleagues and the biodiversity community. Applicants may contact the iDigBio Project Manager for feedback on workshop ideas.
- Review the summaries of previous iDigBio Workshops to ensure your topic has not already been covered. If so, you may provide justification in your proposal as to why the topic should be covered again.
- Check the iDigBio Calendar for your proposed dates.
- Write your proposal following the instructions provided in the iDigBio Workshop Request Process.
- Upload your proposal using iDigBio’s Workshop Proposal Webform for review by the iDigBio Steering Committee.
Plan your workshop
Once your proposal has been approved by the iDigBio Steering Committee, you should use the following list of deliverables to ensure that the workshop planning and execution proceeds without undue stress or missed deadlines for all staff involved.
iDigBio Calendar
- Create an Outreach Event on the iDigBio Website with known meeting details, including: date, time, Adobe Connect URL, wiki page link, agenda, instructions, etc.
- You may initially leave the outreach event as unpublished to reserve space on the calendar. Unpublished events are only visible to iDigBio staff when they are logged in to the website.
- Continue to update this page as more information becomes available.
Registration
- Create a registration form using Drupal, Google, or Qualtrics. Collect at least first name, last name, institution, email address, and badge name.
- Advertise your workshop using the iDigBio listservs and other sources like NHCOLL-L to inform the community of the workshop. Be sure to include details about the agenda, place and time, and what support (if any) will be available, and what the qualifications are for support. Set a deadline for registration and do not make exceptions.
- When the registration has been closed, decide who is on the approved list. There may be registrants who do not qualify for support. Follow up with the successful registrants to confirm their status, and give the contact information to the iDigBio Project Assistant. This is important to make sure it is complete and accurate, as it is used by other staff to coordinate travel for the approved registrants, keep project accounting for NSF, and for updating the listservs.
- Make sure that all approved registrants receive a copy of the iDigBio Travel Policy.
Pre-Workshop Activities
- Coordinate with the iDigBio Project Assistant to:
- Select a potential venue and ensure the venue has adequate space for your meeting and breakout groups (if any).
- Determine the availability and cost of hotels in the area.
- Determine catering needs.
- Determine the best local airport.
- Consult with the iDigBio IT Expert on audio, visual, remote broadcasting, and other technical considerations for your workshop and coordinate regarding availability.
- Consult with the iDigBio Project Evaluator to develop an evaluation plan. This may include a pre-workshop survey to guide decisions regarding the workshop agenda, topics, organization, participants, etc., but the plan should always include a post-workshop evaluation. If you anticipate that you might ever use the results of either survey or other workshop activities in a publication or conference presentation, university policy requires that your protocol and evaluation instruments be reviewed by an Institutional Review Board. Normally, we use the services of the UF IRB; however, workshop organizers with other institutional affiliations may opt to use their own Institutional Review Boards. At UF, the process can take up to one month; at other institutions, the process can take much longer. If the evaluation results are for internal use only (not research), IRB review is not required.
