LDAPCon update for speakers
by Andrew Findlay 25 Sep '15

25 Sep '15

To all LDAPCon speakers Thank you once again for proposing papers and tutorials for LDAPCon. We have published the list of accepted papers and we are close to publishing the schedule for the tutorial day. I also expect to publish the ticket prices and details of sponsorship packages this week. Papers and Slides Please send electronic copy of your full papers and/or presentation slides to submissions2015(a)lists.ldapcon.org as soon as you can. It would really help to have these by 10th October so that we can make them available to delegates when they arrive. The plan is to have full text on the conference website, but to restrict it to registered delegates until some time after the conference. It may not be appropriate to make detailed tutorial notes available to the public. If this applies to your tutorial, please let me know. Posters I would encourage all speakers to bring along posters showing technical details of each presentation. This will be particularly useful where the presentation slot is short as there may not be time for discussion during the session. The poster can act as a focus for discussion at other times. We will have display boards available for this. They are just under A0 size, but I am told that A0 posters can be attached. This is very large for a single sheet of paper so it may be better to bring several smaller ones! Make sure that you use large text and bold lines so that the poster can be read from a reasonable distance. If you are travelling a long way it may be best to have the poster printed by a UK service and sent directly to Edinburgh. One such service is Instantprint: https://www.instantprint.co.uk/posters/a1 - I have not tried them yet, but the information on their website looks sensible. The display facility is for technical posters only. Event sponsors will have the option to display commercial posters, and I hope that many of you will be able to persuade your organisations to become sponsors. Expenses We expect that most speakers will be able to claim expenses from their employers, but we know this will not be possible for everyone. The conference has a budget to support speakers travel and accommodation, so please let me know as soon as possible if you are likely to need this. The budget is dependent on us getting enough sponsorship and ticket income so I don't know exactly how much we have. Please send me details of what you need help with before 10th September. You will find information about local accommodation linked from the travel page: http://ldapcon.org/2015/?page_id=28 Promote the Conference Help us to spread the word! Tell your contacts about the conference, point them to the website: http://ldapcon.org/2015/ and link up with our social media streams - you will find icons for Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Lanyrd at the bottom-left of each page on the website. Thanks again for getting involved!

LDAPCon needs sponsors
by Andrew Findlay 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

To all LDAPCon speakers: A successful conference has many components. You have already contributed greatly by offering papers and tutorials. It may be that your employers (or other organisations that you know) would like to be involved by sponsoring (and exhibiting at) the conference. I attach the PDF version of the sponsorship details. Please forward this to suitable people in any organisation that might be interested in sponsoring. Here are some words that can be used in covering notes: ------------------------------- The fifth International Conference on LDAP, Directory Services and Identity Management will be held in Edinburgh this year: Tutorials: 11th November 2015 Conference: 12th and 13th November 2015 The conference has a full programme with 22 peer-reviewed papers across two days plus a 2-track tutorial day and a poster session. This is an ideal opportunity for companies involved in Directory Services and Identity Management to promote themselves to an influential audience. We are expecting at least 70 delegates from around the world, and the website will be seen by many more professionals over a period of years. There will be ample opportunities to meet LDAP specialists including the central figures in the development teams of many well-known server products. The conference dinner on 12th November will be held in a spectacular city-centre venue, providing more networking opportunities. Sponsorship packages from £500 to £2000 (+VAT) are available. See the attached file and the conference website at http://ldapcon.org/ for full details. Act now for maximum exposure. ------------------------------- It would be useful if you could let me know who you send this to so that I can avoid too much duplication! If you prefer, just send contact details to me and I will send out the information directly.
