IMPORTANT NOTE

APRICOT is a TECHNICAL conference so marketing and commercial content is not allowed within the program. The program committee is charged with maintaining the technical standard of APRICOT, and will therefore not accept inappropriate materials. It is expected that the presenter be a technical person and not a sales or marketing person. The audience is extremely technical and expects that the speakers are themselves very knowledgeable. All sessions provide time for questions, so presenters should expect technical questions and be prepared to deliver insightful and technically deep responses.

FUNDING AND SUPPORT

APRICOT is a not-for-profit event that tries to keep the cost to attendees low; for this reason we are unable to pay the travel costs of or provide complimentary registrations for conference speakers.

However, the main presenter of accepted tutorials will receive complimentary registration to both the tutorials and conference.

Speakers from developing countries may be eligible for the APRICOT Fellowship Program. This provides basic assistance to successful fellows to cover local living and registration expenses associated with attending the conference.

More information on the APRICOT Fellowship program can be found at the APRICOT 2009 website at http://www.apricot2009.net/

Thanks.
