CFP: Innovative Users Group -- 2006 Conference (Denver, Colorado)
May 19 to 22, 2006
Proposal Deadline, Monday October 10th, 2005
I am very pleased to announce the availability of the Program Proposal Form for the Innovative Users Group (IUG) 2006 Conference to be held in Denver, Colorado from Friday, May 19 to Monday, May 22. The deadline for submitting program proposals will be Monday October 10th, 2005.

IUG 2006 Proposal Form: http://innovativeusers.org/iug2006/prog-req.html
IUG 2006 Suggested Topics Page: http://innovativeusers.org/iug2006/Suggested_Topics.html
If you would like to present a program or two, but do not know what might be of interest to colleagues from other Innovative libraries, take a look at the Suggested Topics Page that have been compiled over the past few years and on the responses to the IUG 2005 meeting in San
Francisco. You may find that you have the experience and ideas to share.
Remember, we aim for a variety of programs - basic to advanced, every library type, how you use various Innovative modules, and how you use other programs in conjunction with Innovative software. The topics list is not meant to be exhaustive. Some topics have been duplicated (as appropriate) under separate categories for your convenience. If you
have an idea of your own and don't see it listed, please submit a proposal anyway. You may also be interested in coordinating a panel discussion, but don't have all of the presenters lined up. It's perfectly fine to have some TBA's at this stage. The Program Committee can work with you to help identify potential co-presenters.
If you have presented or coordinated at past IUG programs, please consider resubmitting a proposal for this year. Many comments from recent IUG conferences attest to the fact that it is impossible to attend every program that our users would like to hear, so it is always appreciated in having another chance to see popular programs. There are also a large number of regional user group meetings taking place this fall that offer an excellent variety of program offerings. If you are presenting in one of the regional conferences, please consider repeating your program at the annual meeting, so many more colleagues can learn from your experiences.
Again, deadline for submitting program proposals is Monday October 10, 2005. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the program proposal process.
The Program Committee and I look forward to getting all of your great proposals!
Regards,
Corey Seeman
