Penn State faculty and staff are invited to submit a proposal for presentation at the seventh annual Penn State Web 2004 Conference, scheduled for June 15, 2004, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., at the Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel at Penn State, University Park. We are also planning pre-conference tutorial sessions for Monday, June 14, 2004.
Proposal criteria and the submission form are available at http://www.psu.edu/webconference/surveys/call.html. Multiple submissions are welcome; however, each proposal must be submitted separately. Though this conference is designed for the Penn State community, the Web Conference Committee is willing to entertain nominations for presenters from outside of the Penn State system. Proposals must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. on March 8, 2004. Our recent conference topic survey results indicated high levels of interest in the following areas: Usability, Dot-net, Redesign, Standards, Databases, Security, CSS, XML, and Content Management.
The conference is open to University employees who support an official Penn State Web site as a server administrator, writer, designer, programmer or manager. Last year's conference offered over twenty sessions and attracted more than 350 attendees from 19 campus locations. More information about this conference is available at http://www.psu.edu/webconference/.
Interested applicants also are invited to share this information with colleagues who may be interested in presenting at this year's conference. Inquiries regarding the proposal process can be directed to the conference planners at webproposals@psu.edu.
