I realize the actual conference is not until May 2004, but it is never too soon to think about submitting a presentation topic. The deadline for submitting an abstract is September 19th, 2003. As many of you are aware, IDUG is a user focused, user run conference that offers a program combining technical content with real world user experiences. Many of our best presentations have come from innovative users of DB2, working at companies just like yours. If you are interested in sharing your DB2 experience and knowledge with a professional gathering of your peers, why not take a few minutes to fill out an online abstract submission form. All that is required is a presentation title, a concise abstract of approximately 50 words and a few short bullet points outlining your topic. For more information, or to submit an abstract visit http://conferences.idug.org/namerica/2004/index.cfm - Select "Call for Presentation Application" from the drop down box to submit a presentation abstract. - Select "Call for Presentation Submission Guidelines" from the drop down box for presentation guidelines, due dates, and additional information. If your abstract is selected, then your conference registration fee will be waived which represents nearly a $1,700 savings to your company. (Dual presenters are eligible for one free conference registration and a second registration at a reduced fee.) Also, user speakers are eligible for the best user speaker award, which is determined based on attendee feedback Please review some of the sample topics below for ideas on potential IDUG presentations, and of course we are always looking for new subjects. - Methodologies and techniques that your company has developed for testing, debugging, or monitoring your DB2 based applications. - Application designs or database schemes that you have employed to avoid locking conflicts, increase availability, improve performance, or ensure data integrity. - Innovative uses of DB2 in the area of information integration involving distributed processing, web services or other eBusiness functionality. - Experiences and testimonials describing the conversion of your company's critical business data from another DBMS or data storage system into DB2. - Strategies or procedures that you have found useful for managing databases that contain many objects, have a large number of tables, or require special indexing considerations (ERPs or in-house developed systems). - Initiatives undertaken by your company to reduce outages of your DB2 based applications from an availability, performance or scalability perspective. -Data Warehouse implementations on DB2 UDB that you have developed that provide business users with access to timely information, including DB2 experiences with ETL, BI or Data Mining tools.
