It is time to stop thinking that you should get started on your Balisage paper and START writing. A successful Balisage submission is:
- fresh
- interesting
- well thought out
- carefully written.
This can’t be done in an hour. Not even by someone as smart and creative as you are!
If you have any questions about Balisage, if you want to bounce your paper concept off someone for a little pre-submission feedback, or if we can help you in any way, please write to info@balisage.net.
The Balisage Call for Participation is at: http://www.balisage.net/Call4Participation.html
A symposium on Quality Assurance and Quality Control in XML will precede Balisage this year. Read about it at: http://balisage.net/QA-QC/, and consider submitting a paper for the symposium, too.
Help make Balisage the conference you want it to be.
For the calendar challenged, that means 20 April 2012.
Let’s be honest with each other. Every year we cross the border into Canada thinking “This will be the year some model of my gender choice invites me to stay in Montreal.”
As a presenter (that is a person who submits a very good paper that is accepted), you will increase your odds of being noticed by a model.
How much?
Presenters who have overstayed in Canada are in violation of Canadian immigration laws, so I can’t name names. You understand. Let’s say as opposed to being an attendee (which is a lot of fun), your odds really go up.
😉
Seriously, if you are interested in the next wave of markup techniques and strategies, Balisage is the one conference to attend all year.
There are conferences where there is a lot of hand waving (wringing?) about the future, which are good for a few laughs.
Balisage is where the future of markup is being made real, one paper at a time.
