The Call for Speakers for June’s Code Generation 2008 conference closed yesterday. Thanks to everyone who took the time and trouble to make a submission. Special thanks to those people who made their submissions back in October - this really helps us balance our workload

We’ve had a total of 46 session proposals from 40 speakers based as far away as Australia, USA and Singapore and some not so far away such as Cambridge.

Almost half of these session proposals are experience reports which I think is a great indicator that people are using these tools and technologies and having success with them.

It’s going to be a tough job for the programme committee to whittle down these proposals to a probable 25 or so. The review process starts next week and we’ll be contacting the speakers with any immediate questions or comments as they arise.

We aim to finalize the programme in mid-February so that we can launch it on 25th February. In the meantime keep an eye out on the Code Generation 2008 web site for other news.

Update 21/1/08

We gave a few people a slightly extended deadline due to extenuating circumstances. This means that we now have a total of 50 session proposals from 44 speakers.
