As we plan for 2011, Kantara will continue to hold meetings and add a series of Summits to our event schedule. We are looking for general interest in hosting a Kantara meeting and/ or a Summit. Summits: a series of 1-day Summits where a portion of the agenda is designated to Kantara's groups focussing on current and future activities. The remaining time is open for the Kantara community and it's members to present work and hold break-out sessions. This is an excellent opportunity for you or your organization to showcase new work. Ideally a 7-8-hour Summit (one room for approx. 50 persons). Meetings: we will continue as in the past, our next meeting is estimated for Spring 2011 and then 6 months later in the Winter time. Ideally a 3-day Kantara Initiative meeting (approx. 3 rooms x 3 days). Locations: North America, EMEA and potentially Asia. We are considering Silicon Valley, Washington, New York in North America. In EMEA and beyond, Munich, London, Bratislava, Barcelona, China, India, Australia & Japan. Please contact me directly - I can provide more detailed information regarding theses events if you have any interest to host or sponsor.
