*ClueCon 2009 is coming soon!* We are interested in your thoughts on subjects for lighting talks. We would love to have a number of 5-10 minute presentations by members of the community. If you would like to give a talk, or just have an idea for a talk, please let us know. How do lightning talks work? Quite simply, the presenter has just a few minutes to speak on a particular subject, usually no more than 10 minutes. He or she will deliver the information rapidly, which means keeping the presentation focused tightly on the subject being discussed. Lightning talks usually do not have enough time for audience Q&A. However, ClueCon has a long lunch period that is designed to allow attendees plenty of time to interact. Those are perfect times to discuss lightning talks or any other presentations. Those who give presentations enjoy interacting with other attendees in a relaxed atmosphere during lunch or in the evening at dinner. If you haven't already registered for ClueCon 2009 then please call us at 877.742.CLUE right away and we will complete your registration. Also, don't forget that expedia.com has some nice hotel deals for the Wyndham Chicago. Book your room today! We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you all at ClueCon in Chicago. -Michael http://www.cluecon.com 877.742.CLUE
