Washington 2007 Interactive Technologies Conference Sheraton Crystal City Hotel Arlington, Virginia August 22nd thru August 24th, 2007
Call for Papers Submit by: March 1st, 2007
Abstracts for presentations from professionals in industry, government, military, and academia are solicited to provide a comprehensive program on training and learning technologies currently being implemented as well as those in development for future application. Attendees are particularly interested in presentations of case studies which identify the training or learning challenge and then describe the use of specific technology or technological approaches to resolve the problem. Other preferred presentations are those which involve clients or customers who have been involved in the needs and analysis and "solution implementation". Participants at SALT conferences are interested in how these new and developing technologies can help them assess and improve performance. Additionally, these managers and senior professionals are concerned about controlling costs and demonstrating a return on investment (ROI).
