[opendtv] Call for presentations at the 2009 HPA Technology Retreat

It's that time of year, again.
This is the first call for proposed presentations in the main program of the Hollywood Post Alliance Technology Retreat, to be held February 18-20, 2009 (with likely seminars the day before) at the Westin Mission Hills Resort & Spa in Rancho Mirage, California.
Submissions must be received by me no later than October 24. They need not be formal. A sentence or two about the proposal is sufficient. If I need more info, I'll ask. Subjects can cover any aspect of cinema, video, audio, and television technology, including acquisition, storage, processing, distribution, presentation, monitoring, forensic analysis, and psychophysics. Presentations must not be marketing or sales pitches.
We usually receive at least six times more proposals than there is room for in the program. Selections are made based not only on apparent merit but also on trends that emerge in the submission process, so not making the cut does not necessarily indicate insufficient quality or interest. 

Decisions are expected to be made in late November.
I will also start accepting proposals for breakfast roundtables to be conducted on February 19 and/or 20. The roundtables are concurrent and start at 7:30 am. There is no deadline, but they will be accepted in the order received until we run out of tables. For those not familiar with the retreat and the roundtables, here are some FAQs:

Information on demonstration-room space requests and attendee registration will be made available later. 

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks!

TTFN,
Mark
