Subject: CT 2011: request to PC members for call dissemination

Dear PC member,

We have issued a call with a new date for the IADIS Collaborative Technologies (CT 2011) conference with a submission date of 28 February 2011. This new call date is independent of already submitted papers and do not clash with the notification date already given for these papers that are being reviewed.

We would like to request that you disseminate the conference call, that you can find below in this email, through colleagues, other researchers, students and interested people, and also through mailing lists, conference calendars, institutional pages, etc. This is really crucial to attract more submissions.

Thank you for any efforts put into this task.

Best regards,
Collaborative technologies 2011 Conference Program Chair
