Thanks for the feedback. That is a good point - we realize that some new topics may come up before the conference and have left some spaces in the schedule for that purpose. However many topics are the same year to year or can be predicted ahead of time. Thanks to all the people who have suggested topics! If you have a topic that you think will be hot but can't commit to it just say that in your topic description and we can decide what to do with it from there.
BTW the reason we ask for topics and speakers so early is that one of the complaints we got from attendees last year is that their managers wouldn't approve going to a conference until they could see what they would learn by going... and in some organizations they have to get training approval months in advance... :-) - Michael Smith, TeraTech, Inc http://www.teratech.com/ CFUNITED http://www.cfunited.com/ Steve Brownlee wrote: >I'll 2nd that.
