UK IUA 2008 Call for Papers - Extended!

Ingres User Association UK Conference 2008
June 17, 2008, London www.iua.org.uk

The UK IUA Summer Conference 2008 will be held on Tuesday, June 17, in London. This is an extension of the call for papers to be presented at the conference.

You are invited to submit a brief proposal or abstract for your
presentation. It should be no more than two brief paragraphs, but it should contain sufficient detail to allow a prospective attendee to understand what they will see during the presentation. Submissions may be sent to roberttd at sandyxsystems.co.uk.

Your planned presentation should emphasise implementation issues, operational issues, or planning issues. Vendors of products or services may mention their products provided their presentation would still be of broad general interest to the majority of attendees who will not buy any products. Presentations that are primarily intended to promote the products or services of the presenter are unlikely to be selected.

The deadline for the submission of abstracts is Tuesday 18th March 2008. Proposals submitted before this date will receive favorable attention from the committee. Any proposals submitted after this date may not be included in the conference series.

Please feel free to propose papers on any subject closely related to Ingres or OpenROAD. Topics we are particularly interested in hearing about this year include:

• Database

• Business Intelligence

• Third-party integration

• Developer Forms

• Applications

• Migrations

• Open source

• Management

• Tools & Security

DEADLINE: DON'T FORGET... Proposals must be received no later than Monday 31st March 2008 for voting and selection to be carried out by the conference paper selection committee. Notification of whether your paper has been selected will be received by Monday April 7, 2008. Presentation guidelines, an optional PowerPoint template, and general speaker information will be posted on the UK IUA website in the near future.

If you have any questions regarding the UK IUA Summer Conference 2008, committee members are happy to assist. Please send queries to info at iua.org.uk

Over 150 attendees came to see a record number of high quality
presentations at last year's event, and with your assistance and
contribution, we will make this year's UK IUA Summer Conference 2008 an even greater success.

Thank you for your continued interest and support of the UK IUA.

IUA Committee
