UPDATE 06/08
============

ICCHP 2008 is approaching fast. Time for some
actual conference tidbits for your information:

1. WEB 2.0 Keynote & Party
--------------------------

Rumors were afloat - now it takes a further step:
On Friday, July 11, WAI-w3c will announce,
discuss and present in detail the new guidelines
for web-accessibility (WCAG 2.0)... AT ICCHP 2008!
Don´t miss this unique chance to be part of a new
milestone in web accessibility - we don't know
if they are official then but we will party anyway!
Further info at the conference website.

2. Workshops & Meetings
-----------------------

There are some few slots and rooms for workshops
and meetings to your disposal!
If you have any idea or project you want to discuss
or mainstream (technical & room facilities are free),
get in touch with us immediately!
(icchp at aib.uni-linz.ac.at)

Also check out "What's wrong about failure",
an open workshop by Dick Tucker that discusses what
we can learn from R&D projects that went wrong.
Take part and "confess" where you failed
to push forward our field in the sense of
Sir Karl Popper's "principle of falsification".


3. Poster Exhibition
--------------------

Following multiple requests, there will be a poster
exhibition at ICCHP 2008.
If you want to present a project or an idea,
please get in touch! (icchp at aib.uni-linz.ac.at)
You will get a space of 2 x 1m to your disposal.


4. Specific Needs
-----------------

In order to provide you with the necessary framework
to take part most efficiently at ICCHP 2008,
we organize a 'custom made' Specific Needs Service.

Please inform us about your specific needs via eMail:
specific.needs at aib.uni-linz.ac.at

Moreover, you will find detailed information at our
conference homepage.
