What do you want to talk about?
I’m hoping to submit a session proposal for the WAM!2008 conference, and while I have some ideas bouncing around in my head, I tend to focus on the same things over and over again. So I’d love to hear from you all — what kind of sessions would you want to attend? Which topics need [...]
