Estimated presentation length - Check for appropriate lengths for each format from the different presentation methods as detailed in Step 02 above.

Submission of a written presentation to the conference chair is required on or before the 29th of August 2008 to enable publication on the CD-ROM/DVD conference proceedings.

Complimentary Registration - One presenter per selected presentation is eligible for complimentary full conference registration to BT Summit 2008, which includes admission to the exhibit hall and conference, five delegate luncheons, all after hour socialising, cool conference gear, and one copy of the conference proceedings on CD-ROM/DVD.

Selection Process: The Business Technology Summit 2008 conference chair will carefully review all abstracts submitted by the 08th of August 2008 with the ultimate goal of forming a highly educational and informative conference that addresses topical and timely technology issues that is inline with the theme and tracks as specified for the 2008 edition of Business Technology Summit. Please note that the BT Summit 2008 chair is also handpicking speakers from the Saltmarch Media speaker network, so don't be surprised to see a preliminary list of speakers published before the CfP results are announced.

Evaluation Process: All abstracts will be evaluated on the strength of the abstract submitted, including content matter, technology/market trend and relevance of the material. The program committee will give preference to abstracts that include end-user representation. Consultants and vendors may submit abstracts of a non-commercial nature, but all blatant commercial sales pitches will not be accepted for presentation.

Notification: All primary contacts will be notified in writing via email no later than 10 August 2008 as to whether their proposed BT Summit 2008 abstract has been selected for presentation. Please note that only selected candidates will be intimated.

Primary Contact Responsibilities: The primary contact will be responsible for meeting all deadlines and requirements regarding the paper presentation or panel participation. The primary contact must agree to submit a final BT Summit templated presentation [request your BT Summit contact for the appropriate template] to be included in the conference proceedings by August 29 2008. This contact also needs to notify conference management of any changes, additions or corrections in author, co-author or panelist names, paper titles or availability to present the submitted paper at the appointed date and time. Unless otherwise noted on the abstract, the presenter will be considered the primary contact.

Conference Content: All Conference proceedings, including audio, video, and text transcriptions, at the BT Summit 2008 will automatically become copyright of Saltmarch Media and may be published (commercial or non-commercial) using different mediums to disseminate information on these developer technologies to a larger audience.

Speaker Registration: One presenter per submission accepted or up to four panelists per panel session will receive complimentary full conference registration, which includes entrance to the conference and exhibit hall, delegate lunches, all after hour socialising, cool conference gear, and one copy of the conference proceedings on CD-ROM/DVD.

Travel & Hotel: All travel and hotel arrangements are the sole responsibility of the speaker.

However, they will be responsible for their own conference registration, hotel accommodations and other conference-related expenses.
