Submissions
Submissions for IUE2009 are now CLOSED
We invite you to share your designs, ideas and experiences with attendees at the annual Internet User Experience conference.
Benefits
Presenting at IUE2009 has the following immediate benefits:
- Gives you and your company visibility
- Establishes you as an expert on the topic / field
- Makes networking easier (people approach YOU based on your talk)
- You (or the primary speaker) attends the Main Event (April 1 and 2) at no charge
Need any more reasons? Make that commitment to be a bigger, more visible part of the IUE conference in 2009.
Submit your presentation by Friday, January 30, 2009.
This page includes the steps for making a submission, the schedule, and tips for making your submission a success.
Step 1: Choose a Topic
The signature presentation for the Internet User Experience conference is a compelling original design or a significant design improvement, showing before and after examples, and describing the process that was involved in achieving the final design.
Topic areas that will be considered include:
- Design Improvement
- Visual Design and Branding
- Corporate Intranets (standards, styleguides, and success stories)
- Social Networking
- Business Success fostered by Online Presence
- Internet Marketing
- Search Engine Optimization
- Web Metrics
- Usability
- Accessibility
- Persuasion
We are also open to new topics and will consider them relative to the conference intent and anticipated audience desires.
Step 2: Create an Abstract
- Create an abstract that describes the presentation you would like to give (500 words or less).
- It is also a good idea to develop more of your presentation at this time as we will request additional information within 2 weeks of your submission if it is accepted. This is expecially important for acceptance when we have multiple submissions on the same or a similar topic and need to make a choice.
Step 3: Consider Presentation Length
The standard presention slot for IUE2009 is 60 minutes (50 minutes talk, 10 minutes Q&A).
If you want a more interactive hour-long presentation, that is fine as well.
The bottom line is we need to stay on schedule to ensure attendees can switch rooms and attend the talks they are most interested in.
If you have a strong desire for a shorter or longer presentation, mention this in your submission, email us at submissions@iue2009.com, and we will work with you on this request.

How to Prepare a Successful Submission
A successful submission includes all of the requested information and follows the template reasonably well.
The content and style of presentations, panels, papers and other submissions are the heart of the IUE conference. Content and style are what make the experience fruitful, educational, and fun for attendees. To learn what appeals to conference attendees, the conference committee analyzes the evaluations from the previous conference each year.
