A request from the conference organizers:
Hello there,
We're looking for you to help give direction to the session talks at 360|Flex Seattle, August 13-15, 2007. We invite you to submit your ideas by May 1, 2007. The sooner you submit the idea, the better the chance it'll be yours. Wouldn't that suck to have some one snag your topic due to
procrastination?
If you're thinking of pulling out a canned preso that you've used at MAX or CFUnited, that's fine, but we did get a lot of feedback from attendees who voiced disappointment at "It was the same thing I saw at MAX and UG meetings, over and over. I want new info!" So if you find yourself surrounded by an angry mob two minutes into your presentation, don't say we didn't warn you. Note: If your session is accepted and is tied to your commercial product, you're
company must have a sponsorship level with an expo spot and your description will have this blurb: "This session discusses utilizing a commercial 3rd Party product."
Speaking of presentations, code is good. People like to see code, so feel free to mix it in with your presentations. For those of you working on products that are built on top of Flex, we welcome you to utilize this format for your session. "Behind the scenes: Lessons learned while making
xxxxx"
One thing that attendees find incredibly important is having the presentation materials before hand. If you sign up for a session, we'll need that preso, code zip, etc. by early July so we can burn them all to a CD. Don't be alarmed, if you need to change your preso a little after it's burned, that's fine. We'll provide a PowerPoint and Keynote template too. As for blog links, we'll automatically be adding them to your bio and/or session description.

Send your questions, suggestions and ideas to Info@360flex.com as soon as you can, to get your spot locked in. Feel free to pass this email to others in your office as we're trying to limit the spam to one per company.
Thank you,
The 360Flex Committee
