The Smalltalk Solutions technical program
(http://www.smalltalksolutions.com ) has presentations in a variety of
formats, covering a wide range of topics of interest to Smalltalkers.

- Keynotes are presentations by leading industry figures on topics of
particular interest. Keynote speakers in previous years have included Alan
Kay, Dave Thomas, George Bosworth, and Scott Ambler. Our first confirmed
keynotes for this year is Niall Ross on "The Value of Smalltalk", discussing
his experiences in building complex financial applications, and the benefits
of using Smalltalk. Further talks to be announced.

- Tutorials present technical tpics in-depth, in a hands-on format.
Tutorials are normally a half-day long, and have limited attendance,
offering close interaction with the presenter. Tutorials topics in past
years have included the Seaside continuation-based web framework, tuning
Garbage Collection, Test-Driven Development, the Refactoring Browser rewrite
tool, and the forthcoming Pollock GUI framework for VisualWorks.

- Experience reports and demos present work on Smalltalk projects, sharing
experiences in real-world development and/or showing the capabilities of the
resulting projects.

- Technical talks present an overview of a particular topic. These cover a
wide range of topics of interest to Smalltalkers.

- Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions are informal discussions organized by
attendees. These are organized outside of the regular conference schedule,
and are often used as discussion forums for particular products or Smalltalk
dialects.

- Camp Smalltalk is an organization dedicated to creating open source
Smalltalk software. We provide space, power and network connectivity for
attendees to participate in Camp Smalltalk efforts.

Smalltalk Solutions is the premier forum for bringing together Smalltalk
users, developers, and enthusiasts. This year's conference will take place
June 27-29 in fun-filled Orlando. Smalltalk Solutions is a Smalltalk
Industry Council Event.
