     ***Call for Papers Extended***
 
   -----Please remember to pass this notice on to your colleagues----

Dear Colleague,
 
In response to a number of requests, the deadline for submission of
abstracts for VALA2010 has been extended to close of business on
Wednesday, 13 May 2009.
 
Check out the details of the Call for Papers and submit your abstract
online by 13 May 2009.  As you will see, VALA is looking for papers on a
wide range of subjects, so this could be your opportunity to present
your latest research or experience to the delegates at VALA2010.  Or 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.  
 
Remember that VALA papers for publication are due to be submitted before
the end of September in order to begin the peer-review process, during
which you have the opportunity to update the paper as events and
technologies unfold.   And at the conference you are asked to talk to
your paper, which means you can be up to the minute with the latest in
your field.

So  go to http://www.vala.org.au/conf2010.htm  and **submit online
now!**

 
With the theme of  Connections, Content, Conversations, VALA2010 will
take place at the **new** Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (on
the other side of the river) from Tuesday 9 February to Thursday 11
February 2010.  Note that we have again left Monday and Friday for
associated events, meetings or workshops - contact the VALA Conference
Office at info at wsm.com.au if you are interested in holding a workshop or
associated event.
 
The Main Announcement and Registration Brochure will be available in
August 2009 - contact the VALA Conference Office at info at wsm.com.au 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
2009, 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 also now available - follow
the links from the VALA2010 Home page or contact our Conference Office
at info at wsm.com.au for a copy.
