            VALA2012: eM-powering eFutures
                6-9 February 2012

          ***Call for Papers Reminder***

Dear Colleague,

As you are aware, the deadline for submission of abstracts for VALA2012
has been extended by request to close of business on Monday, 9 May 2011
(next week!), so there is still time to add your abstract to those
already received.

Check out the details of the Call for Papers and submit your abstract by
9 May 2011. As you will see, VALA is looking for papers, from across 
Australia and internationally, on a wide range of subjects; this is your
opportunity to present your latest research or experience to the
delegates at VALA2012. If you know of other people who are doing work
that may be of interest, direct them to the Call for Papers too. And
there's a bonus: there is one discounted registration available per
paper accepted for presentation at the Conference.

With the theme eM-powering eFutures, VALA2012 will take place at the
Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from Tuesday 7 February to
Thursday 9 February 2012, with Boot Camps and L-Plate Series on Monday 6
February. Monday and Friday are also available for associated events,
meetings or workshops - contact the VALA Conference Office at
vala at wsm.com.au if you are interested in holding a workshop or
associated event.

Remember that VALA conference papers for publication are due to be
submitted before the end of September when the peer-review process will
begin, during which you have the opportunity to update the paper as
events and technologies unfold. At the conference you are asked to talk
to your paper, which allows you to be up to the minute with the latest
in your field.

So go to http://www.vala.org.au/conf2012 and submit online now!
 

The Main Announcement and Registration Brochure will be available in
September 2011 - go to
http://www.vala.org.au/vala2012/expression-of-interest and provide your
details if you would like to be added to the list to receive a copy.
Remember, you and your organisation will be able to get best value for
money by being full members of VALA and paying for your registrations by
30 November 2011, so make your budget plans for the rest of this year
accordingly!

And if you know a vendor you would like to see at the trade exhibition,
the sponsorship and exhibition proposal is now available - follow the
links from the VALA2012 Home page for a copy.

Please remember to pass this notice on to your colleagues.
