Techncial Program Schedule and a first cut and the program schedule in excel

[Anita Sengupta]

All,

 

The 30 minute time interval worked out fine last year and works out fine for every engineering conference I have attended.If we dont get enough speakers then we can consider extending the duration of each talk. But for now we will leave it at 30 minutes.

 

We should have official coffee breaks, at specfiic intervals, NOT between every talk. That is disruptive to the flow of the conference. I have made a first attempt at that in the schedule I put together.

 

I have made a draft schedule in the attached spreadsheet in excel. I think we need to work with something visual. The attached also has the latest on the tracks. The tracks are listed below as well. We are still looking for two co-chairs, if you have any suggestions.

 

Technical Tracks		Chair 1	Chair 2
Social Networking		Sanjay Dalal	Jeetu Maker
Cloud Computing		Raj Neervannan	Vijay Trehan
Virtualization		Sunil Sanku	TBD
Mobile Applications and Devices		Naresh Dodda	Praveen Atluri
Business Intelligence		Murali Parthasarathy	TBD

Anita and team

 

thanks for the discussions - looks like we are reaching consensus.

 

if 30 minutes is the standard let us go with it -  with maybe a 5 or 10 minute break between sessions - to cover a walk-over / chat /get coffee period

 

let us review and update the original program outline and see if the timing for keynotes and panels are ok.

 

at least we will have an overall structure now that has gone thru one iteration of review by all parties

 

can we put the names of tracks names of the leads and number of slots

 

let us target early next week to have version 1 of the initial program outline with initial set of names of Invited and proposed speakers

 

thanks team

 

let us know how we can help

 

regards

30 min may be very less ...

 

How about 40 min to 45 min..?

Anita

 

thanks for the update - the tracks and chair assignments are great

 

I have updated the Master Program outline (attached word doc) with the info from your message

 

request the team members to reveiw and continue to enhance

 

You are referring to an excel workshseet - was that attached to this message?

 

please advise

 

Subba and other fund raising team members

 

realize this is still an evolving list - you may want to consider setting a target date and levels of maturity expectations for you all to make your decisions.

 

that way we all have a common set of target dates and expectations

 

hope this helps

 

you all have a great afternoon

 

regards

Hi Krish,
