Call for Panel/Workshop Proposals
Deadline: December 15, 2025
We invite proposals for panel discussions and thematic sessions that critically explore emerging trends, innovations, and challenges in indoor environmental quality, energy efficiency, climate-resilient design, healthy buildings, and other topics related to the conference. Topics are not limited to these areas, and we especially welcome proposals that bridge research and practice, foster interdisciplinary dialogue among professionals and scholars, and highlight applications of technologies such as generative AI, smart building systems, and decarbonization strategies. Sessions may include industry professionals, researchers, policymakers, or nonprofit leaders. Accepted sessions will be integrated into the main conference program.
Submission Guidelines
Please submit a brief 150–250 words abstract outlining the session theme and proposed speakers, along with the names of those you intend to invite, by December 15, 2025. (See the proposal template for guidance.)
