We are happy to announce that nearly 350 proposals have already been
received from all over the world for the premiere year of the Global
Learn Conference to be held this coming May 17-20, 2010 in Penang,
Malaysia. Still, we realize that this is a hectic time of the year for
many of you. To give you and your colleagues additional time to submit
a proposal, the Executive Committee of the Global Learn conference has
decided to extend the Call for Papers to December 20.
Come join us at the Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort in Penang-a quite
wondrous venue with gorgeous views for one of the most unique
conferences packed with stellar speakers and designed for highly
engaging conversations. Please let others know who may be interested or
who could not meet the previous deadline.
If you are among the hundreds
of people who submitted by the earlier deadline, you still will be
notified of the review results by December 22.
