Below is an up to date agenda for wineconf 2002. Things are coming together great and it should be a information filled event. Thanks to all the attendees who are going to make this event worthwhile through their valuable presentations. Be sure and get that haircut before coming because my sources tell me there will be 3 video cameras capturing this event for later broadcasting.
We have two full days planned (March 15th-16th). The sessions will go from 9-5 on both Friday and Saturday. I think all of the international attendees are coming in on Thurs, so they'll be rested up to start at 9am Friday morning. Both days, breakfast pastries will be provided at the conference premises along with lunch. Dinners will be within walking distance on Friday and Saturday.
We're also planning on providing transportation from the airport to hotels on Thurs for our out of town guests. So a rental cars may not be necessary unless you're planning on extra activities on Sunday that aren't part of the conference.
As for the conference sessions, the attendees are the speakers, so we're asking those in attendance to prepare a 30-45 minute presentation meant to educate and inform as well as spur on discussion. If you don't see your name on the list below, please send me a topic you would like to give a presenation on. I've heard from nearly everyone.
We have a great conference venue lined up which will have plenty of meeting rooms and state of the art presentation capabilities along with internet access. To give a presentation, you can either bring a laptop to plug into the video projection system or you can email to me your presentation and I will insure that it is on a computer plugged into the projection system for your presentation.
There are 2 areas that we'll be focusing on:
Business issues - This will be a combination of presentation from companies talking about their business experience with WINE as well as talks on the non-technical issues facing WINE.
Wine Technology - There will be some advanced topics as well as some more general overviews. Since (http://www.lpbn.org) will be on hand to shoot video of all the session, our goal is to have a video series that those newer to wine can view at anytime via the net to get up to speed. Alexandre's keynote will set the tone and provide a roadmap for many of the discussions. Alexandre's keynote will kickoff the conference.
NOTE: Presentations listed below with a * designate a Friday presentation. If there's no asteric, then the presentation will be on Saturday. For maximum diversity, we will be alternating between technology presentations and business. There will be two technology presentations and then one on a business topic. Repeat.
