CFP: Northwest Innovative Users Group Meeting

CFP: Northwest Innovative Users Group Meeting
Conference Dates: October 17-18, 2006
Conference Location: University of Portland, Oregon
NOTE: Deadline not listed - please respond ASAP.

The Northwest Innovative Users Group is currently accepting proposals for one hour (60 minute) program presentations at the Twelfth Annual NWIUG Users Group meeting on Tuesday, October 17 and Wednesday, October 18, 2006 at the University of Portland. This is your chance to share III expertise/issues with your colleagues.

Basically the conference will be structured as it has been in the past - concurrent presentations within each program session. We are working with III on the possibility of holding a workshop in conjunction with NWIUG this year and will have more details on this later.

Your ideas on programs you would like to see presented are also welcome. Just e-mail these ideas to any Steering Committee member, listed at the bottom of this announcement, with a description of what you would like covered.

Please submit proposals for presentations using the form on the NWIUG Web site at http://www.nwiug.org/proposal.html

Using the form has the added benefit that your proposal will be automatically emailed to all Steering Committee members at once and saves people time in forwarding proposals. It also ensures that your proposal will get the quickest attention.
