What are SGML'96 Talks?
At SGML'96 all talks will be 30 minutes long, and will be
followed by 10 minutes for discussion of questions from the
audience. speakers will be required to submit their
presentations in SGML approximately 6 weeks before the
conference, using the conference DTD. Presentations may be
on any technical level, and must be content/technically
oriented. Product or service descriptions or advertisements
are not appropriate on the technical program.
What are SGML'96 Poster Presentations?
If you are a newcomer to the SGML conference you may never
have attended a poster session or done a poster
presentation. These sessions have become a highly acclaimed
portion of the conference. Poster Presentations are
graphic/textual presentations which use posters to say/show
the major points of a subject/topic. The idea is that an
attendee can look at the poster and understand its message
with or without the presenter's presence. Poster Sessions
are time in the conference schedule dedicated to the reading
and discussion of poster presentations. This year we invite
three categories of poster presentations:
1. Technical posters describe an idea, technique,
problem, or innovation in three posters or less.
2. Vendor posters describe a product, commercial
enterprise, or service in three posters or less.
3. Personal posters (a new category) ask a presenter to
introduce himself/herself to the conference through a
single poster that describes interests, hobbies, or
background. Tell us about the person you are when you
are not busy being an SGML user/developer/manager.
Do you design furniture, race stock cars, play
professional volleyball or great piano?
Posters will be available for the entire conference and will
be physically grouped by topic. Attendees will be
encouraged to write and post ad hoc posters during the
conference. For more information on
posters please contact Debbie Lapeyre at 301/762-5179.
