I am chairing the conference and I have invited Susie to give a keynote
speech - she has accepted so I guess SWEO has a good platform at the event!
Perhaps we could additionally consider some kind of stand at the event?
Minimally, we should have a flyer to distribute or perhaps get the flyer
included in every delegate's conference pack?

I should probably step out of the loop now given that I have a foot in both
camps. I would encourage whoever takes this up from the group to contact
Hans-Peter Schurr (schnurr@ontoprise.de)from ontoprise since he is
responsible for exhibition and sponsorship.

Regards,
John.

(ESTC)]

I was wondering whether one of our European group members are in position to
offer a tutorial for this conference.

I am not fully familiar with the details of this event (maybe some of you
may know more!). If it is the European Counterpart of the Semantic
Technology Conference (the one held in the Silicon Valley every year), then
it may be important for us to be around.

For family reasons it would be a bit complicated for me to go there in that
time range. And we should try to build up a 'speaker pool' at least on both
sides of the pond who could represent SWEO in general. Any taker?

Ivan
