Left Forum is the culmination of the creative efforts of thousands of participants, panel and workshop organizers, and hundreds of volunteers who engage the gamut of conference organizing activities, from helping generate artistic events and panels, to outreach and involvement of a rainbow of organizations and individuals.

» Panel (and workshop) topics span a great variety of issues. Panels/workshops offer engaged forms of dialogue, debate and/or interaction between panelists/facilitators and audience and at times, have an activist, organizing or strategy making focus. You can refer to the events pages page to look at past panel/workshop topics and titles.

» In designing your panel or workshop we ask you to try to ensure that panelists or workshop facilitators represent and engage diverse political standpoints on any particular topic, and that panelists represent a range of political and cultural identities (e.g., race, gender, age, and class diversity). We also ask that you integrate the conference theme into the panel/workshop proceedings.

» In order to accommodate as many panels, workshops, panelists and workshop facilitators as space will allow we limit local and regional panelists/facilitators to two panels/workshops. Requests for additional panel/workshop participation can be made by emailing panels@leftforum.org and explaining your request. If you have any problems submitting a panel please email panels@leftforum.org or call (212) 817 2002/2003. Panel Submission Deadline: April 21, 2015.
