CALL FOR IDEAS & PRESENTERS
Were you unable to attend IUG? Did you see something in the program that interests you? Do you know of a particular "expert" whom you would like to have present a program? Let us know! -- The leadership team of the Mid-Atlantic Innovative Users Group (MAIUG) is actively preparing for its Fall 2004 conference and is soliciting input and suggestions from its members.
If you presented a program at IUG and wish to reach a wider audience, consider repeating the program for our members. If you saw a program at IUG and thought, "I know all about that," volunteer to be a presenter.
This announcement is an invitation for your recommendations for presentations and presenters. If you have a particular topic you would like to see presented, or perhaps covered in a Birds-of-a-Feather session, please contact Mary Alice Peeling
(Maryalice.Peeling@law.widener.edu)
before May 30th.
CONFERENCE DETAILS
Our Fall 2004 events will consist of a Pre-Conference Training Seminar and the main Conference. The Training Seminar, led by an Innovative Interfaces trainer, will be held on Thursday, October 14th. The main conference will be held on Friday, October 15th. Our host this year is Brookdale Community College (http://www.brookdale.cc.nj.us/) in Monmouth County, New Jersey.
The two half-day training seminars will cover "Create Lists and Statistics" and "Basic System Administration" (covering Management Information, Security and Access, and Millennium Administration). The pre-conference training fee will be on a sliding scale based on the number of participants we have. These will not be "hands-on" training, and there is no limit to the number of attendees (other than those imposed by the Fire
Marshall). Also, you can sign up for one or both 1/2 day sessions. Check our website (http://www.goucher.edu/library/maiug/maiug.htm) for information regarding the pre-conference training, lodging, and registration.
CONTACT INFORMATION
We'd like to make this conference a valuable learning experience. Our strength is our members' expertise. If you would like to be a presenter or a facilitator for a Birds-of-a-Feather session, please contact Mary Alice by June 30th. Presentations can cover topics presented at IUG in Boston or new topics. Staff at all levels are welcome to present programs and to attend both the training sessions and the conference itself.
Full conference details will be added to the MAIUG website as they become available.
