<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>If
anyone has a great WF (/BRF/BPM) story to share, I encourage you to fill out
the survey ASAP. Filling out the survey does not lock you in in any way. It
does not guarantee you a speaker slot either. Over the past 5 years, we (the
WF/BPM group among many others) have seen the number of sessions decrease –
not due to lack of interest of course – but due to simple time and space
constraints. BUT, filling out the survey is one way that the conference
planners have of gauging interest, so it benefits any potential speakers or
attendees for there to be some significant activity in the Workflow/BRF/BPM
area – I recommend you use the Integration/Middleware/BPM category.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
