CDSI-WG, (01)
I'd like (but probably can't) attend this conference and present
our paper "Data Interoperability Across the Enterprise -- Why Current
Technology can't Achieve it." (02)
Would any other CDSI-WG members care use it as a basis for a
presentation, submit it, and (if accepted) present it. (03)

Washington, DC - November 5-7, 2007 (08)
The 2007 Metatopia Conference is hosted by Data Management Association
of the National Capital Region and, for the first time, in conjunction
with Wilshire Conferences. This year's location is near the Capitol in
Washington DC at the Holiday Inn on the Hill and easily accessible from
the Metro. We will be covering topics of interest to both private
industry and government agencies. The topic of governing and
implementing data sharing across functional, agency, enterprise,
Federal, state, and local boundaries is of critical concern to our
national security and commercial interests. We encourage thought leaders
and practitioners to submit an abstract for a 1-hour presentation on any
topic related to this theme including the numerous fundamental data
management challenges that must be mastered by stakeholders as
prerequisites. (09)
Key agency initiatives requiring data provisioning include: achieving
information superiority to support the war-fighter and the DoD Net
Centric Data Strategy; Sarbanes-Oxley compliance; Health IT legislation
in process; the Defense Information Assurance Certification and
Accreditation Process; the War on Terrorism; consolidation and
integration initiatives. (010)
The broad theme of the conference is "Cross-Boundary Data Sharing"
(though additional topics are welcomed). (011)
Please submit abstracts by July 30, 2007. Please review all guidelines
below, and then follow the proposal link in the Key Dates section to
submit a proposal. (012)
Presentations are invited across the entire range of data management
fields of interest. As a guide, key educational themes and topics for
2007 are listed below. (013)

Presentation Guidelines (020)
1. Presentations may be proposed in the following categories: (021)
* Conference Sessions (1 hour duration)
* Special Interest Groups (1 hour duration)
* Tutorials (3 hours - see terms below) (022)
2. Please take note of all the requirements and follow the
presentation guidelines carefully. There is a great deal of competition
for speaking opportunities at this conference and based on historical
trends, we will be able to accept fewer than one in every 6 presentation
proposals. Therefore, incomplete or poorly constructed proposals tend
to be quickly eliminated from consideration. If you are unsure of your
proposal, you may email us with questions so we can guide you before you
make an official submission. PLEASE NOTE: We cannot tell you if your
proposal will be accepted or not. This would not be fair to the hundreds
of other potential speakers who have also submitted proposals.
3. Presentations from corporate practitioners that reflect real-world
experience and hands-on implementation will receive priority
consideration.
4. Vendor organizations may submit proposals for any presentation
category, but please understand that vendor presentations are viewed
very cautiously, in light of past experience with sales pitches and
commercialism. Therefore, very few speaking slots are ultimately
offered to vendor organizations (vendors interested in promoting their
products may purchase exhibit space, product presentation times, or
other sponsorships. Please contact Rick Froton
<mailto:rick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=Metatopia%20exhibitor%20inq
uiry> , Director of Sales, 603-305-0660.)
5. Commercial/sales presentations and/or demonstrations during
conference sessions are not appropriate (Please note point # 3 in
Presentation Conditions below).
6. Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are one hour long and conducted in
the early mornings and evenings. The typical format is a facilitated
session, comprising a 5-10 minute overview talk by the speaker, followed
by audience discussion. SIGs can be for any level of audience
experience.
7. A short-list of back-up speakers will be prepared from the original
presentation submissions. Back-up speakers will be used to fill any
last-minute speaker cancellations. If you are selected as a back-up,
you have the option of registering for the conference at a reduced
registration fee, and if eventually called upon to speak then you will
receive a refund of your registration fee. (023)
Speaker Presentation Conditions (024)
1. All speakers must agree to provide their presentation to Wilshire
Conferences in a standard electronic form (PowerPoint is required), no
later than October 1, 2007. This is necessary to prepare the event CD
and documentation. Speakers who are delinquent in meeting this deadline
risk being replaced on the program.
2. By submitting a proposal, the speaker agrees to the standard
copyright and reproduction terms of this event. These terms provide
that copyright in original presentation material remains with the
speaker, however Wilshire Conferences is granted the right to record,
reproduce and distribute each presentation in all forms of printed and
electronic conference materials, including, but not limited to, the
conference CD-ROM, printed attendee notes, the conference web site, and
audio and/or video recordings (digital and/or analog), without royalties
or fees payable to speaker. Sorry, there are no exceptions to these
requirements.
3. All sessions will be rated by the audience for commercial content.
Any speaker who is judged by the audience to have made an inappropriate
sales pitch for his/her own company, book, product or service during a
conference session risks having their presentation interrupted and/or
halted, and will not be invited to participate at future conferences.
4. By submitting a proposal, speaker agrees that he/she has permission
from his/her company to make the presentation under the terms outlined
in this Call for Papers. If you do not have approval at the time you
make the proposal, you must indicate this clearly.
5. All accepted speakers receive complimentary attendance to the
entire conference.
6. All Conference Session and SIG speakers are responsible for their
own travel and living expenses.
7. Tutorial speakers receive a fee of $750 plus reimbursement of
expenses in accordance with the standard conference policies (which may
be viewed here
