I have booked a week of annualleave immediately prior to KohaCon11 to get it done but even then was hoping to produce just written notes and a powerpoint.
I have to agree with this. For an academic thing, I'd have research done and papers written long before. However, for a less formal conference, like Kohacon, it tends to only really take form in the month previous, and I'm usually chopping and changing content right up to the day before. And certainly not writing a full paper for it.
Or, perhaps more realistically, writing slides on the plane over, where I can see the deadline approaching at 900kph ;)
It's not a bad idea to collect slides and other resources when you can, and putting them up online somewhere though.

Hi All, So the consensus seems to be no written papers / presentations beforehand. Ok will discuss with VPM but I dont see a problem with that. We can always scramble and put together a collection on CD to be distributed on the last day. This means we have to drop the *"Advertisements in the conference proceedings publication"* type of sponsorship. The largest sponsor we have Bharat Grahak had opted for back page of the same and I would hate to lose that sponsorship. I hope the other sponsors who had opted for advertisements will be ok with some of the other "at the venue" options presented here http://www.vpmthane.org/payments/kohacon11/insert_cc.asp ?

Most contributors will at least make their slide presentations available. Will there be any recording of the presentations?

Koustubha, Its fine by us. We're happy to be supporting the conference and you can use our contribution as you see fit. What I would like to see is a table or display place where we can leave our brochures at the conference for anyone who is interested. There was a table at KohaCon10 in Wellington with an interesting array of information handouts. Regards, Bob

Yes there will be video recording of the entire conference.

Not necessarily. Check and see if the compromise of having a collection of abstracts with advertising would be amenable to them. My gut tells me there would be very little difference to an average person in having their advert with an abstract v. a full paper. Cheers, Brooke
