>The Forum 2000 conference committee is looking for people to present in an

>Idea Market presenters stand in front of two flip charts, one is blank and
>one has a list of discussion points. The room is set up with 10-12
>presenters all speaking at the same time. Participants can roam during the
>90 minute session from presenter to presenter depending on their interest.
>The presenters need to engage participants in lively discussions and
>debates about the subject and record any outcomes from the discussion onto
>the blank flip chart. Often the presenter learns more about the topic than
>they knew before!!

>If you are interested in presenting or have questions, contact Lisa Moretto
>at RGI_Lisa -at- compuserve -dot- com for details. Because an Idea Market only has 10
>presenters respond early (by January 4) to ensure you have a place and so
>we can publish your topic in the Preliminary Program.

>Idea Markets were a successful component of the recent IEEE Professional
>Communication Society conference in Quebec City.
