The preliminary agenda for the NFC World Congress has now been finalised and the call for papers, outlining the types of presentation the conference organisers are looking for, has now been published.
Proposals are invited from speakers who can contribute presentations on near field communication to either the NFC Workshop or the main NFC World Congress programme. Four types of speaking opportunities are available:
- Lessons from the front line — Case studies from the payments, transit, marketing & promotion, connectivity, content & information services and ID arenas.
- NFC Workshop guest presenters — Technical and business presentations from experts in the field, focussing on the business case for NFC, NFC applications, NFC technology and NFC project management.
- Innovation showcase — The opportunity for those working on innovative new NFC applications and technologies to present their work to delegates.
- Discussion group leaders — Round-table workgroup leaders with specific expertise in a particular aspect of the NFC ecosystem from either a technical or business perspective. Discussion groups will focus on mobile payments, ticketing, Bluetooth2.1+EDR & Wireless USB, content & information services, marketing & promotion, NFC project planning and more.
Detailed guidelines for potential speakers are available in the call for papers section of the NFC World Congress website.
The closing date for proposals is March 12, 2008.
