One conference has barely ended and the planning for next year’s
GENTECH Conference is already well underway. The GENTECH 2003 Conference will
be held 17 January 2003 in Phoenix, Arizona. Phoenix is always a great place
to be in January and the conference will be held in a great location: the Phoenix
Civic Plaza.
The GENTECH2003 organizers have posted a Call for Papers. They
are looking for presentations in a wide variety of topics, including:
- Community building – Use of the Internet by societies, families and commercial
organizations to publish and exchange information.
- Online resources - Web sites, libraries, archives, search engines and digital
archives.
- Handhelds – Palm pilot, Visor, Bluetooth, Windows CE and accessories.
- Documentation – When, how and why to track electronic sources.
- Imaging – Scanning, photography and optical character recognition.
- Publishing – Options for publishing online, eBooks, CD, CD-RW, DVD and Palm.
- Applications – Databases, software, multimedia and utilities that ease the
research task.
- Hardware – Printers, digital cameras, scanners, computers and accessories.
The above is a list of suggested topics, but the organizers also
invite you to think of additional topics that are technology-related for use
in genealogy.
