2007 Search Engine Meeting
Boston, Massachusetts,
April 23-24, 2007
Call for Offers of Presentations
Offers of presentations should include an informative title, a
short, descriptive abstract as to what will be covered, plus a
short biography of the proposed speaker. Please note that this
meeting is not an appropriate occasion for pure product
pitches or descriptions of existing products. News of entirely
new products, or beta versions of substantial upgrades to existing
products, may however be of interest to meeting attendees. Presentations
accepted will be expected to make real contributions to the field
of information searching and indexing, or in furthering the understanding
of the meeting participants in the general search area. All presentations
will be in the full sessions; there are no breakout or parallel
sessions at this meeting.
Those presenting will be given one free registration to the two-day
conference (one free registration per presentation). Speaker expense
reimbursement will not normally be offered.
Please send offers, in the first instance, to Harry Collier at
Infonortics 
Offers will then be forwarded to the program advisors.
Since the program is normally finalised early in November and
attracts many offers to speak, it is advisable to send offers
of presentations as early as possible. Absolute deadline
is October 18, 2006.
In general, presentations should
emphasize new search engine technology and problem solving
Some theme areas of particular interest for the 2007 Meeting
are:
- Search: Measuring the payoff: evaluation and metrics. The
costs, the time schedules.
- Research and breakthroughs in the area of search, classification,
automated indexing.
- Search agents, search automation and personalization.
- Search interfaces.
- Case studies and best practice in enterprise search.
- Search in the wireless / mobile environment.
- New tools, beta applications, novel applications (product
descriptions).
The conference normally attracts around 200 attendees
from a broad mixture of government, academic and industry participants.
This year, the presentation chosen as the Best of the Meeting
will again be awarded
the Everett Brenner Award and a check for $500 will be
presented to the winner by Arnold IT
There will also be a limited number of exhibition
spaces in the main conference area (table-top).
Contact the organizers early, since places will be limited. All exhibitors
will be given a short "product presentation" slot during
the main conference sessions.
