*PLEASE CHECK FREQUENTLY FOR UPDATES AND CHANGES*

APPLICATION FOR NEW PANELS AND WORKSHOPS IS NOW OVER

Hello everyone,

We would like to thank all the people who submitted panel/workshop ideas. Now it’s the time to make things happen for real.

There are many interesting panels that only have one or few panelists giving them, and it would be a shame to see them cancelled. You can find the list of panels/workshops suggested to date and their respective descriptions below. Please take a careful look. If you would like to participate in one (or more) of the activities maked “AVAILABLE”, let me know ASAP!

I will continue to accept applications to become panellists and ideas for new panels/workshops until JUNE 30th, 2007(final deadline). So if you want to give a panel/workshop, let me know before that date!

To the panelists who have proposed ideas but haven’t sent me any description for their panels/workshops yet, please send me the missing info before the deadline as well. Also, I’d like to know if you have time constraints on the convention dates, so I can take that into account when I’ll make the schedule.

If you decide you want to be the only one to give your panels/workshops, be sure to notify me so I can close it. If you see something inaccurate that you’d like to see corrected, again, let me know.

If you’re wondering why your panel/workshop is not on the list, it’s because you haven’t sent me an application yet. Please fill one ASAP (it’s short!):

Bonjour à tous,

Merci à tout ceux qui m’ont envoyé des idées de panel/workshop. C'est maintenant l'heure de rendre tout ça une belle réalité.

Il y a beaucoup de panels intéressants qui ont seulement un ou peu de panélistes voulant les faire en ce moment, et ce serait une honte de les annuler. La liste de panels/workshops suggérés jusqu'à date et leurs descriptions est affichée un peu plus bas. Veuillez jeter un bon coup d'oeil. Si vous voulez participer à une ou plusieurs activités marquées "DISPONIBLE", laissez-moi savoir AUSSITÔT QUE POSSIBLE.

Je continuerai à accepter les applications de panélistes ainsi que les idées pour des nouveaux panels/workshops jusqu'au 30 JUIN, 2007 (date-limite finale!). Alors si vous voulez faire un panel/workshop, laissez-moi savoir avant cette date!

Tous les panélistes qui ont proposé des idées mais ne m'ont pas encore envoyé les descriptions pour leur panels/workshops, n’oubliez pas de m’envoyer un courriel avec les infos manquants avant la date limite! Aussi, je voudrais savoir si vous avez des préférences d’horaire, pour que je puisse tenir compte de cela quand je ferai le programme.

Si vous voulez être seul à donner vos panels, faites-moi savoir pour que je puisse les fermer. Si vous voyez quelque chose à corriger dans cette liste, envoyez-moi un courriel.

Si vous vous demandez pourquoi votre panel/workshop n'est pas sur la liste, c’est parce que vous ne m'avez pas envoyé une application par courriel. Veuillez remplir ce mini formulaire (ça ne prend pas beaucoup de temps!):
