2006 JA-SIG Summer Conference: Gateways and Pathways

The next JA-SIG conference will be Sunday through Tuesday, 4-6 June 2006 at Westin Bayshore Resort and Marina, Vancouver, BC, Canada. The conference is now open for registration and the program committee is accepting proposals for presentations. Details are available at http://www.ja-sig.org/conferences/06summer/index.html.

Program Suggestions

The Gateways and Pathways program is currently in a planning stage and the committee welcomes suggestions for presentations using one of the mechanisms below.

If you have a suggestion for the general conference please add it to the General Suggestions page.

Suggestions from prior conferences are available if you wish to see them.

Presentations

Presentations can be made in a variety of formats including:
  • One-hour presentations: These presentations can be made lecture style, as a panel discussion, as a roundtable discussion, as a design review / feedback session or in a number of other formats. A short description of you selected format is appreciated when you submit your proposal. Please keep in mind that it is always a good idea to build in time for questions and answers for the audience, typically 10-15 minutes is sufficient.
  • Birds of a Feather (BOFs): These informal discussions will occur during one timeslot within the program. Attendees interested in your topic of discussion will join you at a table to share experiences, ask questions and provide feedback.
  • Kiosk Demonstrations: A number of kiosks will be set up in the foyer spaces of the conference area and can be reserved for 30 minute time slots during the refreshment break periods. At these kiosks, demonstrators "show-and-tell" about their various projects and can solicit feedback and answer questions for fellow attendees.
