Time to start submitting abstracts for ILUG 2008!
Category ILUG2008
Face it... where else would you rather be the first week of June than with hundreds of your closest friends, learning about Lotus, and consuming large quantities of beverages (often on someone else's tab)?
I can tell you from personal experience that being part of ILUG 2008 rivals the community feeling you get at Lotusphere... At least the parts you remember.
But in order to make this a great event, we need great speakers! And wouldn't you like to be one of those? I certainly hope to be one some day... :)
If you'd like to take that next jump in your professional career (either to greater heights or career suicide, your choice), submit an abstract to speak during the event. Send a session abstract (or tree) to speakers@ilug2008.org and let us know what you'd like to talk about for an hour. We promise not to let Paul make decisions on developer topics, nor will Bill get to choose admin sessions. But we all agree that user sessions are banned, so don't even try...
Conditions? They are:
That's not so bad, is it?
And don't stress out about the format of the abstract... Title of the session, and three or four sentences describing the topic. Go look at any Lotusphere session description and you'll get the idea.
And don't delay... While we don't expect the volume of abstracts that IBM sees for Lotusphere, there *are* limited slots available.
And remember... if you're chosen to speak, your session registration cost is free! Actually, if you sign up to attend, it's also free. But it sounds better the first way...
