Online health and wellness

Organizers are responsible for advertising accepted workshops and
tutorials, recruiting participants, and managing the review process if
paper submissions are invited. Successful proposals should also put
together a web page describing the event and distributing any
preliminary materials.

information:

Workshop/tutorial title
Workshop/tutorial summary (1-2 paragraphs)
Workshop/tutorial description, including the motivation and goals of
the proposal, as well as its relevance to the field of Web Science.
