But\, as all foot-weary telecom professionals know\, after your string of meetings back and forth around the show\, there's precious little time to actually spend learning what's hot\, and seeing the most worthwhile on the show floor. That's why The Telecom Council puts together these roundtable events after large tradeshows - so our members can share what they learned\, what they saw\, and their opinions of the products and companies that made an impression on them - all in the context of telecom. This gives members who didn't go a chance to learn from those who did\, and those who went also get the chance to fill out their notes with things they might have missed. The format of this meeting will be a presentation followed by a roundtable. The presentation will be from an analyst and moderator who will offer show highlights. During the moderated roundtable\, each attendee will get a chance to discuss their opinions\, their take-aways\, and share any gems they found - all in the spirit of networking\, communication\, and collaboration in our industry. Throughout the meeting\, we encourage comments\, disagreements\, and interaction from everyone in the room. We have opened 2 20-person sessions for this debrief- a morning session or a lunch session. You may register for either but not both sessions below. *Session options: 09:00 AM - 11:00 AM or 2:00 PM - 02:00 PM Our innovative debrief events have been extremely successful\, and are consistently highly rated by all that attend. We routinely get feedback like this quote from our CES 2008 Debrief survey: "You saved me 3 days and $3\,000. Great summary and great insights..." This intimate meeting is free to members and $200 for non-members\, with an additional option to obtain the 'Show highlights Brief' and meeting notes. A membership option\, which always includes our meeting notes\, is also available during the online registration process for this event.

Those of us who go every year know that it is impossible to see everything and learn everything there during the 3 days in Barcelona. That's why the Telecom Council puts together these roundtable events after large tradeshows - so our members can share what they learned\, what they saw\, and their opinions of the overall trends that made an impression on them - in the context of telecom. This gives members who didn't go a chance to learn from those who did\, and those who went also get the chance to fill out their notes with things they might have missed. The format of this meeting will be a presentation followed by a roundtable. The presentation will be from an analyst and moderator who will offer show highlights. During the moderated roundtable\, each attendee will get a chance to discuss their opinions\, their take-aways\, and share any gems they found - all in the spirit of networking\, communication\, and collaboration in our industry. Throughout the meeting\, we encourage comments\, disagreements\, and interaction from everyone in the room. We have opened 2 20-person sessions for this debrief- a morning session or a lunch session. *09:00 AM - 11:00 AM Morning Session *12:00 PM - 02:00 PM Lunch Session Our innovative debriefs have been extremely successful\, and are consistently highly rated by all that attend. We routinely get feedback like this quote from our CES 2008 Debrief survey: "You saved me 3 days and $3\,000. Great summary and great insights..." This intimate meeting is free to members and $200 for non-members\, with an additional option to obtain the 'Show highlights Brief' and meeting notes. A membership option\, which always includes our meeting notes\, is also available during the online registration process for this event.

The ACCU Conference has more benefits to offer than any rival event\, and all for less! At the ACCU conference you will hear about the new C++ standard\; software patterns\; agile software development\; Java\, Python\, Erlang\, and other languages\; software architecture and design\; and much more! The ACCU conference provides opportunities not just to hear the latest thinking from leading industry figures but engage in debate and discussion with some of the most renown experts in the field. Keynote speakers at ACCU 2010: * Jeff Sutherland\, co-inventor of Scrum * James Bach\, well known tester and author of "Lessons Learned in Software Testing" * Dan North\, Agile coach\, software developer and the inventor of Behaviour Driven Development * Russel Winder\, consultant\, author\, and expert in parallel and distributed systems. Who should attend? * Software developers * Software project managers * Anyone looking to implement Agile software development in their organization * Anyone interested in introducing new technologies in their organization One of the key things that makes the the ACCU conference stand out with respect to other events is the community. There is a particular atmosphere that you don't find elsewhere\, and an openness both within the sessions and outside them. You are generally more likely to end up talking to complete strangers and learning from them than any other conference. The ACCU programme is great\, but the spaces between the sessions are just as great. If you try it once\, you'll want to come back again and again!

Research into functional electrical stimulation has reached an exciting stage in its development. For example\, our understanding of the way in which the central nervous system responds to peripheral stimulation has developed with new imaging and other technologies. There have also been significant technical advances in FES technologies for both clinical and sporting applications. In the clinical arena\, the recent publication by NICE of guidelines supporting the use of FES for drop foot reflects the growing strength of the evidence base. Who is the conference for? This conference will provide an opportunity for researchers and other interested parties to meet and share the latest research on FES. The first day of the conference will have a clinical focus and we particularly encourage clinicians who use FES to attend. Papers to be presented may include the latest work in the following areas: * Upper and lower extremity FES * Therapeutic electrical stimulation * Neuromodulation * Human-Computer-Interfaces * FES for respiration/blood pressure control * FES for bladder/bowel/sexual function * Control strategies * Physiological effects of electrical stimulation on muscle and nerve * Sensory neuroprostheses (hearing\, vision) * FES Sports * Clinical implementation of FES devices * Stimulation of denevated muscle * User involvement in FES research Deadlines 2nd announcement and first call for abstracts: 14th September 2009 Deadline for submission of abstracts: 30th November 2009 Also from Salford To receive the weekly events e-newsletter from the University of Salford\, please email press-office@salford.ac.uk You can follow our Twitter profile at www.twitter.com/SalfordUni And don't forget to go to the Arts Unit website for all the latest theatre\, music\, performance and art. www.arts.salford.ac.uk/ URL;VALUE=URI:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4226051/ UID:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4226051/ DTSTAMP:20090811T064135 LAST-MODIFIED:20090811T064135 CATEGORIES: ORGANIZER;CN=:X-ADDR:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/user/520304/ LOCATION;ALTREP="http://upcoming.yahoo.com/venue/616114/":Salford Innovation Forum @ Salford University Business Park\, Frederick Road\, Salford\, Salford\, England M6 6FP END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20100424T080000 DURATION:PT0S TRANSP:TRANSPARENT SUMMARY:Publishing & Writing Conference DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4961686/ ] Authors and independent publishers face an odyssey filled with risks and opportunities.

TBC More info and registration: email m.n.goddard@salford.ac.uk "Bigger than Words\, Wider than Pictures": Noise\, Affect\, Politics Organising Committee: Dr Michael Goddard\, Dr Benjamin Halligan and Professor David Sanjek Noise Annoys. Is it not a banal fact of modern\, urban existence that one person's preferred sonic environment is another's irritating\, unwelcome noise - whether in the high-rise apartment\, on public transport or the street\, or almost anywhere else? The contingent soundscape of jack-hammers and pneumatic drills\, mobile phone chatter\, car sirens and alarms\, sound leakage from nightclubs and bars and - moving into the suburbs - lawn-mowers and amateur renovation projects\, neighbouring kids and dogs\, represents a near-constant aural assault. As a pollutant\, noise can legally attain noxious levels\; it is both potentially biologically harmful and psychologically detrimental. But what exactly is noise and what conditions these relative thresholds in which sound crosses over into noise? Or are these more organised and polite sonic phenomena merely varieties of noise that have been tamed and civilised\, and yet still contain kernels of the chaotic\, anomalous disturbance of primordial noise? As a radical free agent\, how is noise channelled\, neutralised or enhanced in emergent cityscapes? As a consumable\, how is noise - or lack of noise - commodified? Such questions are particularly applicable to contemporary forms of music which\, based as they are on a variety of noise-making technical machines\, necessarily exist in the interface between chaotic\, unpredictable noise and the organised and blended sounds of music and speech. Does modern noise seek to lead us to new\, post-secular inscapes (as with psychedelia and shoegazer)\, or defy the lulling noisescapes of processed background muzak with punitive blasts of disorientating\, disorderly noise? And why the cult of noise - in term of both volume and dissonance - in which low cultural practices (metal\, moshing) meet those of the avant-garde (atonalism\, transcendentalism)? This conference seeks to address the contemporary phenomenon of noise in all its dimensions: cultural\, political\, territorial\, philosophical\, physiological\, subversive and military\, and as anomalous to sound\, speech\, musicality and information. Possible topics include but are not limited to: Psychedelic and Neo-Psychedelic Musics Punk and Post-Punk Musics Experimental Musics from Avant-Classical to Digital Noise / Raw Data Industrial Musics and Cultures Krautrock and German Noise Shoegazer\, Nu-Gaze and Post-Rock Noise as Cultural Anomaly Noise\, Chaos and Order Noise and architectural planning Noise and digital compression Noise Scenes from No Wave to Japan-Noise Noise and electronic music pioneers (Delia Derbyshire\, Varèse\, Stockhausen) Noise and Territory Sonic Warfare Noise and Urban Environments / "Noise pollution" Noise and Subjectivation Sonic Ecologies "White Noise" Noise and Political Subversion Noise and hearing impairment / deafness Psychic / silent noise Noise and mixing\, particularly in nightclub environments Noise in Cinema\, Video and Sound Art Noise\, Appropriation and Recombination Noise and Affect The conference will be organised by the Centre for Communication\, Cultural & Media Studies at the University of Salford in co-operation with Islington Mill\, Salford and will take place from the 1-3rd of July and will include both an academic conference and noise gigs featuring amongst other groups\, The Telescopes and Factory Star and other special guests tbc. Confirmed keynote speakers include rock historian Clinton Heylin\, author of From the Velvets to the Voidoids and numerous other works on (post)punk and popular music\, Stephen Lawrie of The Telescopes\, and Paul Hegarty\, author of the recent Noise/Music. In addition to conventional papers\, noise\, sound and video art proposals are also welcome.

It is a chance for bisexual activists from across the globe to get together and combine strategies\, compare solutions\, and forge partnerships in the fight against prejudice and biphobia. It is hoped that many countries will be represented\, through individual delegates and also by attendees sent from both bisexual and LGBT organisations from all over the world.
