 Berkeley Art Museum & UC Berkeley THANK YOU
Thank you to all the delegates at the conference who made it such a stimulating and diverse event (not to mention a sold out event!). Also, many thanks again to all the hard work put in by the Organising and Program committee who made the event possible. This year we had over 260 participants from 18 countries across the globe, and have some nice conference photos.
There is a brief mention of the conference in the New Scientist. Please do email me any other press about the conference.

CREATIVITY AND COGNITION 2011

CREATIVITY IS PRESENT IN ALL WE DO
The 7th Creativity and Cognition Conference (CC09) embraced the broad theme of Everyday Creativity. This year the conference was held at the Berkeley Art Museum (CA, USA), and asked: How do we enable everyone to enjoy their creative potential? How do our creative activities differ? What do they have in common? What languages can we use to talk to each other? How do shared languages support collective action? How can we incubate innovation? How do we enrich the creative experience? What encourages participation in everyday creativity?

Nanosystems Institute [California, USA] CONFERENCE THEMES AND TOPICS
The outline schedule is now available to view along with details of all accpeted submissions.
The Creativity and Cognition Conference series started in 1993 and is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI. The conference provides a forum for lively interdisciplinary debate exploring methods and tools to support creativity at the intersection of art and technology. This year submissions from academics and practitioners, makers and scientists, artists and theoreticians will be presented.
This year’s broad theme of Everyday Creativity reflects the new forms of creativity emerging in everyday life, and includes topics of:
* Collective creativity and creative communities
* Shared languages and participatory creativity
* Incubating creativity and supporting Innovation
* DIY and folk creativity
* Democratising creativity
* New materials for creativity
* Enriching the collaborative experience
Accepted submissions include the following forms of work:
* Empirical evaluations by quantitative and qualitative methods
* In-depth case studies and ethnographic analyses
* Reflective and theoretical accounts of individual and collaborative practice
* Principles of interaction design and requirements for creativity support tools
* Educational and training methods
* Interdisciplinary methods, and models of creativity and collaboration
* Analyses of the role of technology in supporting everyday creativity
CALL FOR BAGS
Inspired by the theme of Everyday Creativity, asked people to post their old conference bag(s) so that they could be recycled into one-of-a-kind reusable conference bags. Each bag that was sent was hand crafted and sculpted by up-and-coming British designer Sarah Atkinson, commissioned by BigDog Interactive. Unlike many consumer products that we buy today, each bag came with its previous history attached.
For more details and mailing address, please see the CfB.
SUBMISSIONS
This year we accepted just 23% of the submitted papers after a thorough reviewing process. Submissions came from across the globe, from New Zealand to the UK, from France to Japan, and from Mexico to the USA.
Submissions are now closed.
PROCEEDINGS
All submissions were peer reviewed. Proceedings, published by ACM Press, were available at the conference and are available from the ACM Digital Library.
Previous conference proceedings are available from the ACM Digital Library.
