The
presentation submission deadline has past. I urge you if you have

IMMEDIATELY!

All presentations were to be received by February

your presentation to our webmaster - [email protected].
A web version of the proceedings will be developed for the conference.

are using a format other than what was listed above - please
contact Dave Kunkel directly.
Press
Relations and Marketing
We encourage all presenters to send out notices regarding their
presentation - to any related press representatives. We have found
it to be beneficial to both the presenter and the event. In addition,
feel free to link your company's web site to event web site -
FYI: The official event Web address is www.knowledgetechnologies.net.
Registration
All presenters should have received a confirmation to the
event. Please contact our IDEAlliance Registrar if you have not
received a confirmation or if you have registration questions:

reservation information on the conference web site.
Audio Visual
All of the session rooms will include the following standard equipment:
one computer projection unit, one screen and microphones. If using
the computer projection unit, please remember that you will be
responsible for supplying the computer. Also, we will need to
know the type of computer you will be using (PC or MAC) and the
resolution of your presentation (see the form). If your presentation
requires additional audio visual equipment, please list that information
on the speaker information and commitment form (we will try to
accommodate your request).

try to make other arrangements.
Speaker Commitment Form - Are
Past Due - February 1
To ensure that we have your most current contact information,
biography, and a/v requirements, we ask that you please complete
the following commitment form.
Presentation
Logistics
The program is divided up into 3 rooms - throughout three
days. Each session on any particular day is then divided up into
two 45 minute talks (35 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes
for Q&A). Both speakers in a given session should be present
10 minutes before the start of that session regardless of who
speaks first. (This is to allow for an audio/visual check and
an easy transition between speakers.) In addition, we ask that
the presenter who speaks first in a session remain present throughout
the remainder of the second talk in that session. Please feel
free to again review the conference
Schedule-at-a-Glance for clarification on your
presentation time or contact me directly at [email protected].
FYI: All presentations
will be taking place at the The
Westin Seattle Hotel. Exact meeting rooms are not posted
on the Schedule-at-a-Glance.
Speaker Prep Room
The Speaker Prep Room will be open and available from 8:00 am-5:30
pm Monday-Wednesday. Please feel free to use this room to meet
other participants and coordinate presentations. The location
of the room is Stuart.
Again, we
all thank you for taking the time to review all the above information
and look forward to seeing you in Seattle.
