The call for speakers submission deadline for the Online Information Conference is now extended to 8th May.

Whether you work in business, libraries, academia or the public sector, this is your chance to be seen as one of the leaders - with your story reaching a global audience from over 40 countries.

• Maybe you’ve been involved in creating a new application for Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, Yahoo or Google?
• Have you made the move to the semantic web to deal with the digital explosion and the need for greater “intelligence” in your information?
• Perhaps you’ve found ways to exploit new online tools to transform the way your organisation does its business?
• Have you changed your management processes to cope with this “always connected world”?

Lorna Candy is Head of Content for the Online Information Conference 2009, which will take place i London 1-3 December. She told us:

“We want to hear from organisations that have transformed themselves to be more agile and flexible by exploiting open linked data and conversation streams. We are looking for exciting, innovative applications as well as lessons learned from Twittering and mash-ups. We want to show case organisations that are using semantic web techniques to create new and exciting resources. And what about managing the chaos of agile development and “always beta” deployments? Have you learned how to guarantee privacy and security in this heady but chaotic world?”

If this strikes a chord, take a look at the conference themes or go straight to the submission form.
