Dear Authors and Presenters to the IAMOT 2011:
I am sure that many of you are busy developing your paper and presentation.  We have completed the tentative IAMOT 2011 overview and detailed program.  It is posted on the conference website www.iamot2011.org - Conference Program tab.    To determine the time and the place of your presentation, you can search for your paper # in the detailed program using the "Find" command in Adobe reader.   Please e-mail me yhosni@mail.ucf.edu  or iamot@miami.edu if you have difficulty finding the paper.   The paper# in the program is hyperlinked to your paper record in EDAS in case you need to perform any modifications.  There is a slight room for changing the time of your presentation; however it is not guaranteed that it will be placed in the selected track.  For such change, you can e-mail me with your request.  As soon as I get confirmation from the "TBD" session chairs, I will post all the session chairs.  There is useful information for authors, presenters, posted on IAMOT 2011 website - Instructions for Authors tab.
There are many events and opportunities that will be taking place in the conference, such as the tutorials/ workshops, panel discussion, and travel support grants.  I urge you to take full advantage of such events.

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

Happy New Year.
The IAMOT2011 is progressing very well.  With approximately 350 accepted papers and presentations, three tutorials/workshops, four technical panels and three keynote speakers featuring renowned leaders, academicians, and practitioners; IAMOT will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in an unprecedented style.
Despite the economic situation, IAMOT reinstated the travel grants for MOT students (See details in the Travel Grant tab in the IAMOT2011 website www.IAMOT2011.org).
The local committee is hard at work trying to organize technology related site visits in the Miami area.
By mid-January we will be posting the tentative conference program.  I ask conference participants, especially internationals, to register early in order to make use of early registration rates and to allow ample time for visa and travel arrangements.

I am looking forward to greeting you in person in sunny Miami beach.

Sincerely,
