Hold the dates: October 19-20, 2007 for ConvergeSouth '07 at NC A&T State University. Things are brewing on two coasts to make sure that the 2007 ConvergeSouth is more special than ever.

The Web site and blog will be online by March 1 (crossing fingers).

We are seeking proposals for interactive discussions, DEMOs and how-to sessions in these areas:

1. New media and journalism
2. New creative online models and tools
3. Blogger how-to and blog improvement
4. Music performance (evenings)
5. Original video and film

This year's ConvergeSouth features a new track: screening original video and and film. Guidelines can be found at the ConvergeSouth '07 site after March 1, 2007

Simultaneous hat-tips to Sue, Ed and Anton.

You bet I'll be there.

It's fine to send proposals to the email address noted above until the site launches on 3/1/07. That email address is a real person (me!) and is admin (at) convergesouth (d0t) com.

BTW, I'm the collector of proposals and they go to a small group of conference-savvy folks to peruse and focus into sessions/schedule for 2 days. I'm not the decider :)
