Due to receiving requests for more time, the PUG Challenge Americas committee has extended its deadline for PUG Challenge presentation proposals. If you plan to submit a proposal, send a message ASAP to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it telling them your intentions, how many sessions you will propose, and when they can expect to receive your submissions. Proposals received after Dec 31, 2010 will be considered in the second round or if there are cancellations.

PUG Challenge Americas 2011 will be the premiere face-to-face conference for Progress users in the Americas on June 5-8, 2011 in Nashua, NH. It will deliver highly technical, valuable content for those involved in developing, integrating, managing and improving Progress applications. Presentations can include both Progress and non-Progress technologies that support or complement Progress applications. For more information about the presentation proposals, click on the below link.

Your session could be organized as a detailed "how-to" presentation, a case study demonstrating an implementation or a Best Practices illustration. Regular session slots are 60 minutes long and should allow time for Q&A following your presentation. Workshops are 3 hours long and include lab-like exercises. Participants will bring their own computers, but we will facilitate cloud deployment of workshop materials.

You may submit more than one session proposal. Preliminary Agenda will be published Jan 15th, Revised Agenda Feb 28th, PowerPoint slides due May 15th. Proposals received after the deadline will be considered only on a space available basis.

Submissions for talks should include:

Presenter name, company, job title, and contact information
Title of talk
Short summary
Intended audience
Outline
Suggested tags appropriate to the talk (4GL, Database, SaaS, Performance etc.)
Speaker bio

Good luck! We have look forward to seeing more great proposals and working with you to make a memorable experience. Please submit your proposals on or before December 31st, 2010.
