The Sixth International World Wide Web Conference (WWW6) is coming to
the Santa Clara Convention Center April 7-11. This conference will be
the latest in the original series of WWW conferences which began at
CERN (the birthplace of WWW) in 1994 and is held under the auspices of
the International World Wide Web Conference Committee (IW3C2). In
keeping with the tradition of being an academic and research-oriented
conference, WWW6 is being co-hosted by Stanford University and the
Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC).
The WWW6 program consists of one day devoted to tutorials and workshops
(April 7) presented by international experts on a wide variety of
topics. The technical program (April 8-10) contains plenary speakers
and multiple tracks of refereed papers, posters, and panels. Developers
Day on April 11 consists of more comprehensive presentations directed
at persons involved in WWW development. April 11 will also contain a
History Track highlighting the accomplishments of those individuals who
contributed to the development of WWW and earlier technologies.
Special presentations within the technical program include a Business
Track, an Access Track, and a program organized by the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C).
Please visit the WWW6 Conference Website
(http://www6conf.slac.stanford.edu/) for the latest information on
speakers, the program at a glance, tutorials, workshops, and special
events. The latest edition of the WWW6 Newsletter is also available
from the website. These resources will convince you that WWW6 stands
far above the numerous WWW-related conferences competing for your
attention.
If you haven't yet registered, we advise you to do so as quickly as
possible. Registering by March 7 will save you (or your organization)
$100 on the WWW6 Passport (the 5-day complete package). In addition,
our hotels rooms are going quickly, so you need to make reservations
now in order to get the best room choice.
Early registration will also give you ample time to explore and use ICE
(our Interactive Conference Environment). ICE will enable you to put up
your own conference web page, interact with WWW6 staff and other
registrants, obtain details on WWW6 presentations and events, organize
discussion groups, schedule BOFs, and engage in technical discussions
regarding workshops and other activities prior to the conference.
We look forward to meeting with you "on ICE" and in person April 7-11
in Santa Clara. If you have any questions and can't find the answers on
the WWW6 Conference Website or in ICE, please send us email at
www6-info@mailbox.slac.stanford.edu. We're happy to help.
