Just a reminder that the Call for Presentations is open for the 2009 DAMA Symposium and Wilshire Meta Data Conference. In addition to having the benefit of being located in Tampa, FL, the DAMA Conference is the best managed, most informative gathering of data and information management professionals anywhere on the planet.

The most common complaint I hear about is that it is too hard to pick one session to attend in any one hour. Rob and I blogged about last year's conference (available via our home page at www.infoadvisors.com) so you can get a feel for the depth and breadth of topics being covered.

I'm guessing that some of you are thinking "there's no way my boss will send me this year" due to reduced travel policies. Well, one way to overcome that objection is for you to submit a presentation abstract that is chosen for the program. Speakers have their registration fees waived, making it easier for you to justify this expense. And if your presentation is chosen as a half-day or full-day topic, you can get your travel expenses covered as well. So you can get yourself to the conference. In fact, that's how I've done it for 10 years or so.

I'll be posting again soon with some tips on how to increase your chances of having your proposal accepted as well as some tips to overcome that one last thing holding you back: "but I'll have to SPEAK!"

Start thinking now about a topic and watch for the follow up posts.
