================================= The Best Presentations Ever! =================================
It is only four weeks until we meet in Monroeville!
This year, there will be several categories of awards for presenters,
based on the quality of their presentations and their reception by the
audience.
If you are on the program as a presenter (or if you think you ought to
be), this message tells you about two things you need to do. Do one
of them right now, if at all possible. And do the other one later, but on
time please!
==================================
1. Presentation Planning Document
==================================
First, open the presentation planning document attached to this
message. Make a copy of it, electronically or on your printer, fill it out,
and email it or fax it back to me. My address and phone number are
in the document.
Get the form back to me as soon as you can, or by Friday Morning,
March 14 US Eastern Standard Time, at the latest. It is our main
source for determining when you will appear on the schedule.
If after you send it to me you think of something else you should have
added, email me!
======================================
2. Conference CD / Handout Materials
======================================
Another very important deadline:
We need your materials to hand out to participants by Monday
morning, March 31, 8:00 am US Eastern Standard Time (GMT - 5:00).
If you do not make this deadline, the only thing on the CD handed out
at the conference relating to your presentation will be your email
address and web page address.
Please include in your materials:
*) A short professional summary/biography.
(No more than a half page at 12-point type.)
*) A digital photo image of yourself (optional)
*) Your presentation "handouts." (see below)
*) Application and database files and other files that pertain to your
presentation.
Deliver these by email -- preferably in a PKZipped archive -- to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Make the subject line of your materials (replacing "John Doe" with your
name):
Conference Handouts: John Doe
Submit your documentation and handout materials in at least one of
these formats:
Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF)
Rich Text Format (RTF)
MS Word (DOC)
You may also include a Powerpoint (PPT) file of your presentation, but
for maximum portability, be sure you also save it in at least one of the
above formats. Your presentation materials will not be handed out on
paper, only on CD, so it is important that everyone has software that
can open your documents.
Thank you for your help. It looks like this may be the most exciting trip
to Monroeville yet!
