>Date: Tue, 20 May 2003 09:52:48 -0400 >From: Marion Elledge <melledge5@comcast.net> > >XML 2003 Call for Presentations, Tutorials, Exhibits, and Sponsors >December 7-12, 2003 >Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. > >http://www.xmlconference.org > >"Now We're Cooking" is the XML Conference theme for this year. XML is now used >in many different ways and in many different applications. Leading (best) >practices are starting to emerge, and recipes for success are starting to be >reliable and reproducible. The Conference this year is dedicated to telling >people what they need to know to get their XML-based systems working. > >This is where you come in. We are looking for top-quality tutorials and talks >that help attendees understand what the leading practices are, how to use >them, >what to watch out for, and how to solve problems that show up. They also want >to know which new technologies are coming down the pipeline. The attendees at >XML 2003 want to hear first hand from the experts which products will solve >their problems and which methodologies will meet their needs. > >We already have some excellent keynote speakers confirmed: Adam Bosworth >(BEA), >Jon Udell (InfoWorld), and Shantanu Narayen (Adobe) and expect to confirm >others shortly. > >Please forward this message to anyone you think might be interested in >speaking >or exhibiting at XML 2003. > >Conference Topic Areas > >Speaking sessions: Suggested topic areas are Case Studies, Core Technologies, >Integration, B2B, Vertical Industries, Government, Graphics and Multimedia, >Knowledge Management, Publishing, Storing XML, Web Services, Wireless. Other >ideas are welcome. For descriptions of these areas, please see >http://www.xmlconference.org/xmlusa/2003/sessiondetails.asp > >Talks can be introductory or advanced, geared to implementers or executives. >We are not looking for extremely technical developer content or introductory >talks about what XML is (although introductory tutorials are welcomed). All >Conference submissions with a June 2nd deadline will be blind reviewed by a >panel of 80 experts. They grade the abstract for interest and look for >evidence >that the speaker knows the subject and can explain it. > >Product presentations: We have renamed the Vendor Presentation track to >Product >Presentation, since open source and products produced by non-vendors are also >welcome. Products that are new, standards-based and interoperable with other >products will be given preference. > >Town Hall Meetings: Held throughout the conference, these interactive forums >are designed to allow all attendees to join open-mike town-hall forums. >This is >a great way to ask questions, listen to suggestions, soak up praise, endure >abuse, hold straw polls, or go into more detail on particular issues not >possible during other presentations. > >All interested parties are invited to submit proposals. Presentations will be >chosen to fit 45-minute time blocks (usually 40 minutes for presentation and 5 >minutes for questions). A version of the paper must also be written in XML for >publication in the Proceedings (with the exception of product demonstrations). >We expect XML authoring tool vendors to make XML authoring software available. >Further instructions will follow upon acceptance of a presentation. Electronic >conference proceedings will be produced and made available on the Website and >CD-ROM. > >All selected speakers will receive a free registration for the conference >(December 9-12), provided their paper, tagged in XML, is received by the >October 15, 2002 deadline. In addition, all submitters of complete abstracts >not chosen for the conference will automatically receive a discount of >$100 off >the conference registration. > >Submissions must be made online by June 2, 2003 at >http://www.xmlconference.org > >Call for Tutorials > >IDEAlliance is seeking highly qualified instructors to lead tutorials, which >will be selected based on merits of the topic and instructor. Tutorials will >be one-half or full-day workshops. Please be sure to indicate any special >requirements and the length of your tutorial on the submission form. A >complete >handout for the tutorial will be required. > >Selected instructors will receive a free Gold Pass registration (December >7-12), provided their tutorial handout is received by the November 10, 2003 >deadline. In addition, all submitters of complete abstracts not chosen >for the >conference will automatically receive a discount of $100 off the conference >registration amount.
