All Things In Moderation
May 2027
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Practice, research and everything between.
We'll announce the 2027 theme when the call opens in November.
Moderation in practice, across models and contexts
The craft of moderation: techniques, tools and judgement calls
Sustainable workloads, boundaries and wellbeing
AI: where it helps and where it harms
How power shapes decisions, authority and accountability
Balancing community, organisational and regulatory demands
Global perspectives matter.
We actively seek voices beyond Global North frameworks: community-led governance, moderation in low-resource or high-risk settings, and work that challenges the defaults built into mainstream platforms.
First time speaking? Good.
Many ATIM sessions come from people sharing lived practice, not polished expertise. We help speakers shape their session and mentor newer contributors.
Session formats
Case study
A practical walkthrough of something you tried, and what happened.
Panel
A facilitated conversation between people with shared concerns and different takes.
Research paper
Findings at any stage, shared and discussed with practitioners.
Talk or reflection
Experience-led insight, whether you’re new to the work or leading it.
Workshop
Hands-on skills practitioners can use the next working day.
Something else
A creative format we haven't thought of. It just needs to work online.
Tell us your idea.
We'll confirm we've received it, and let you know the outcome as soon as we can. Questions first? Get in touch.
