###
The Arizona Business and Liberty Experience Conference Call for
Presentations

The Arizona Business and Liberty Experience Conference (ABLEconf) is
soliciting presentations for its second annual conference. ABLEconf will
take place on Saturday, October 24th, 2009 at the University of Advancing
Technology in Tempe, Arizona.

Continuing ABLEconf's drive to showcase free and open source software for
business, we are seeking presentations in either 20 or 50 minute formats.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

     * SMB/SME
     * Health/Medical Software and Systems
     * Local Business Use of Free and Open Source Software
     * Women in Technology and Business
     * Education
     * Multimedia
     * Gadgetry and Fun Devices
     * Green Computing
     * Multi-Platform Applications and Free Software for proprietary
systems
     * Virtualization, Grid and Cloud Computing
     * Network Setup, Management and Security

Proposals submitted by September 7th will qualify for an early bird prize
drawing.

Proposals should include the following:

    1. title for the talk
    2. name, affiliation, bio and contact email address of the presenter
(needed for publishing on the website and final program schedule)
    3. Is a 20 minute or 50 minute presentation is preferred?
    4. What will be covered? A list or a brief description of the main
points to be presented should be submitted. Please include enough detail
to enable the committee to evaluate the proposal.
    5. Please notify us if the presentation will require a special
technical set up.

Submission formats in plain text, PDF and Open Document Format (ODF) will
be accepted. As we are attempting to increase awareness of free and open
technologies, it is highly desirable that presentations be done in open,
non-proprietary formats.

Email proposals to proposals@ABLEconf.com.
