From rhill at asis.org Tue Sep 2 15:50:08 2003 From: rhill at asis.org (Richard Hill) Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2003 15:50:08 -0400 Subject: [Sigmed-l] ASIST&T 03 Annual Meeting Deadline Message-ID: <4114-2200392219508653@dickxp> A quick reminder. The ASIST Annual is earlier this year than in recent years. The cut off for early registration is September 5. The full details of the meeting, October 19-23, Long Beach, CA are at https://www.asis.org/Conferences/AM03/index.html Hotel reservations should be made by calling (562) 436-3000 OR 1-800-228-3000. (The 800 number is different from what is in the mailed program. The number above is correct.) New and different this year: Tuesday Awards Luncheon replaces Wednesday evening Banquet ? but the President?s Reception, Wednesday evening, is unchanged, secret awards and a rousing send-off.

In both cases, we are "breaking new ground". The ASIS&T IA Summit 2004 is seeking submissions from information architecture practitioners and researchers that support this theme. If you are developing the IA practice in your organisation by documenting methods, applying IA principles to new platforms and devices like interactive TV or handheld devices, using techniques from related disciplines in your day-to day work or researching the latest ways to connect people and content, we want to hear from you. We are open to contributions from people with solid and relevant ideas, including areas that may be considered ancillary or outside of Information Architecture. If selected, we simply ask that you put in the time required to create a solid and professional presentation for the conference attendees. We encourage submissions by students, developers and designers, work of a specialised nature, work concerning new features, design elements, methods or processes, controversial topics, and work in progress. We are especially interested in receiving submissions from speakers in our field who have not presented at the Summit in the past, including academics, professionals in related fields and information architects who have not yet had the opportunity to share their knowledge. We want to invigorate our conference with new thoughts. If you have a solid idea and proposal, but aren't an expert speaker, we can help. Our planning committee has experienced authors and presenters who can give a hand in fine-tuning your ideas and presentations. How do you know if you have an idea worth pursuing? Imagine that you travelled out to Austin to attend the conference and sat in on your presentation? Would it hold your attention? Would it give you new focus or insight that you could apply to your work? Does it provide fresh perspective to what you think? If so, great. Go ahead and send along your proposal idea. Don't be shy. . . The Summit seeks proposals for: * Case Studies ? specific examples showing the use of IA in completed projects * Presentations ? talks that discuss principles and ideas, or provide insightful analogies and mind-opening explorations to open the minds of information architects * Tutorials ? opportunities for information architecture practitioners to discuss and develop a topic for a half-day * Panels ? differing opinions and discussion on the topics of the day lead by a moderator * Posters ? illustrating a concept from research or practise DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS The submission deadline for case studies, presentations, tutorials and panels is October 31st 2003. The submission deadline for posters is December 5th 2003.

My sincerest thanks go to all those who were kind enough to share their views with me and help articulate proposals for the future of our society and its role from a global perspective. They also go of course to those who voted for me. There is no beginning nor end, only a constant struggle for a more effective and friendly humane society, in which ASIS&T with many others can play its role.
