Keep an Educational Focus
The purpose of presentations is to educate Camstar customers about industry trends and new effective ways of using Camstar solutions to improve manufacturing operations. Business partners may present applications and services that complement Camstar's solutions, but value to the Camstar customer must be the focus of every session.

Tips to Attract an Audience
Give your paper an interesting title (limit 10 words). Be sure your title mentions the type of category or industry for which the paper is best suited.

Mention what type of organization you represent in your abstract. This will help users of similar size organizations or with similar goals choose to attend your presentation.

State the essence of the issue or problem and what steps or actions were used to address it. Tell us why your session will make a difference for the people who will attend your presentation.

Submission Policy for Camstar Business Partners
If you are a business partner and you intend to submit a session abstract on a topic involving your client's project, please make every effort to have your client function as the primary presenter of the session. Only if the client is not available to speak, should the partner function as the primary presenter.

Biography & Photos
All conference speakers must submit a 100-150 word professional biography and a photo of themselves (headshot – color photo – business attire) for inclusion on the conference website and in the conference materials.

Conference Registration Is Required
We require that all presenters register for the conference. Acceptance as a presenter does not register you for the conference, and registration fees are required. The registration deadline is April 27, 2008 – although early registration is strongly encouraged for presenters.
