Aloha and welcome to the WWW2002 Announcements list!

You are a member of this list either because you have attended or expressed interest in a previous International World Wide Web Conference (WWW1-WWW10) or because you inquired specifically about WWW2002. This list will be used only for VERY occasional informational bulletins from WWW2002 and is not available for any other purpose. If you wish to be removed from all future WWW conference announcements please see the instructions at the end of this message.

First, you will notice that the organizing committee for the WWW conferences, IW3C2, has decided that beginning with WWW2002 the conferences will embed the year rather than the conference number in the title. So WWW2002 is the new name for what would have been WWW11.

The WWW2002 organizers are honored to have been selected to host the 11th conference in this prestigious and important series, and we look forward to building on the shoulders of prior organizers to bring you the best WWW conference ever. Hawaii is truly the meeting place between East and West, and we will be holding WWW2002 in a hotel rather than a convention center which will further enhance the opportunities for interpersonal interaction and informal networking.

Our International Program Committee is almost fully assembled and already working to bring you an outstanding program. As always, WWW2002 will also feature a pre-conference day of Tutorials and Workshops, and a post-conference Developers Day. The conference program will not only include a strong refereed technical program, but a variety of plenary and panel presentations to stimulate delegates' thinking about the web and its uses. The ever-popular W3C track will provide conference attendees with a great opportunity to catch up on the latest web standards and initiatives.

At this time we would like to invite you to consider active participation in WWW2002. The conference web site has up-to-date information at: http://www2002.org

The detailed Call for Participation is available there, with information about preparing a paper or poster or proposing a panel, tutorial, workshop or developers day activity. Paper submittals will be due November 13, 2001.

We are also seeking sponsors for the overall conference as well as specific WWW2002 items and activities. Detailed information regarding the WWW2002 sponsorship program is available on the web page.

Even if you don't plan to participate actively, it's not too soon to mark your calendars to attend WWW2002 May 7-11 in Hawaii. See you here then!
