In recent years, the selection of tutorials has been made in unison with other conferences such as NAACL, EACL, EMNLP, etc. as appropriate. This helps ensure a variety of topics across conference locations and creates a more diverse pool for submissions. However, the conference-specific tutorial chair will need to coordinate with the local chair to understand room availability (e.g., how many tutorials are there room for).

	~~Samples calls~~ for ~~bids appear~~ in ~~[[Tutorial calls for proposals (Conference Handbook~~)~~\|calls for tutorial proposals]]~~. Information about recent tutorials and attendance can be used to decide which tutorials are likely to be of interest. Balance between different topic areas and diversity in presenters is desirable, but not strictly necessary.		Thus, the tutorial chairs then become a defacto committee for tutorials across all conferences. Hopefully the chairs have been selected so that there are a variety of skills represented on the committee so that all tutorials can be fairly evaluated. If not, it may be useful to solicit external reviews (however, make sure to allow sufficient time for this in your calendar). Information about recent tutorials and attendance can be used to decide which tutorials are likely to be of interest. Balance between different topic areas and diversity in presenters is desirable, but not strictly necessary.
			One downside of the committee structure for tutorials is that the first conference in the calendar has a more rushed timeframe. That organizer (usually EACL or NAACL) will then need to impose appropriate submission and review deadlines on all tutorials (in conjunction with their general chair).

	~~Instructions~~ to tutorial ~~teachers~~ are in ~~[[Tutorial teacher instructions~~ (~~Conference Handbook~~)\|tutorial ~~teacher instructions]]~~.		After tutorials have been selected, more responsibility devolves to the conference specific tutorial chairs, who are responsible for collecting one page tutorial abstracts and materials for the proceedings. Tutorial submissions often vary greatly in depth, concreteness, and thoroughness, so the tutorial chair should make expectations (both what is required and when it is required) clear upon acceptance to give the tutorial authors enough time to respond to requests.

			The dates that affect internal deadlines are: publicizing tutorials in time so that people can register (deadline set by general chair and publicity chair) and getting tutorial information into proceedings (publications chair). Special presentation and computer requirements should be communicated to the local organizers.

The Tutorial Chair is responsible for requesting tutorial proposals and making final selections. When appropriate, the tutorial chair can recruit a small committee to help evaluate the proposals and make final decisions. In years when more than one person co-chair, this might not be necessary.

The Tutorial Chair decides on dates for tutorial proposal submission, for making decisions, and for the deliverables from presenters. Dates should be coordinated with the conference chair and local organizers. The main things to find out is when the one page tutorial abstracts go out to press from the publications chair and when
the local organizers plan to print the handouts for the tutorial. Soon after the tutorials are accepted, a short description should be sent to the local organizers to pos on the conference website and to the publicity chairs for further dissemination.

Special presentation and computer requirements should be communicated to the local organizers.

Samples calls for bids appear in [[Tutorial calls for proposals (Conference Handbook)|calls for tutorial proposals]]. Information about recent tutorials and attendance can be used to decide which tutorials are likely to be of interest. Balance between different topic areas and diversity in presenters is desirable, but not strictly necessary.

Instructions to tutorial teachers are in [[Tutorial teacher instructions (Conference Handbook)|tutorial teacher instructions]].

The policy regarding reimbursement of tutorial teachers is in [[Tutorial teacher payment policy (Conference Handbook)|tutorial teacher payment policy]].
