2008 Annual Conference – Call for Speakers Begins

David Aber, PhD

The Call for Speakers for the COE 2008 Annual PLM Conference & TechniFair opened on September 10, 2007. This is the method for collecting your information to be a candidate for the conference program.  Please see the announcement on the Web site, www.coe.org, for the link to COE 2008 Annual PLM Conference & TechniFair Call for Speakers.

The Call for Speakers identifies:

• Speaker Contact Information: So we can find you to clarify or complete your abstract.
• Session Title: Generates interest to read further and attend your session.
• Session Abstract: Gives insight into your session and details to be discussed.
• Other Speakers or Panelists:  So all can be recognized and planned.
• Three Learning Points: What are the take-aways from your presentation?

Please get you abstract in early - the call closes November 2, 2007! Last 190 sessions were submitted to place in a program grid with 110 possible slots. Priority in selection will be given to sessions that include a COE Member Company – User Speaker.

I look forward to your participation in planning your 2008 conference. My commitment is working toward the best COE conference program that we have ever been able to provide to the member companies.
