Within each category we would like to receive proposals for lecture/presentations, hands-on tutorial sessions, and industry showcases/product demonstrations.

Please Note:

Being technology literate compares to being an artist who chooses from an ever-increasing selection of colors to convey his or her perception of what information is most demanding. To be technology literate is to be encumbered by the knowledge of obsolescence, overwhelmed by the dynamics of the present, but yet infatuated by the potential of the technology of the future. Being technology literate is to be on a slippery slope. To be technology literate is to be able to communicate to all in a language whose vocabulary appears to the infrequent user to have no basis in history and whose grammar defies explanation. [Dr. Harvey Long, Technology in Education Consultant (retired), T.H.E. Journal, Vol.27, No.3, 1999.]
