Here are a few questions I frequently get with regard to submissions of speaking and paper proposals for the MCPC2011. I hope this helps.
Is the deadline for speaking submissions for the MCPC 2011 really April 7? Can I get an extension?
Follow all steps of the submission process and read the updated call for papers first!
We will give you until May 7 to finalize your presentation by updating your submission files in the system or to create a new submission.
Do I also have to pay the registration fee as a presenter?
Yes, and even I as the conference chair will do so. The MCPC is a community event, and given the very broad opportunities to discuss your experience and research and get feedback, we only can run the conference if we follow this basic rule of academic conferences. So every speaker in the main conference (Nov 17-18) will have to register and pay for the "Innovation & research conference" (Note that the business seminar event is a seperate event, and you don't have to register for this.)
When will the final program be published?
Sometimes in late summer, but we hope to have a draft program ready in July/August.
Can I exhibit my company and our products at the event?
Yes, part of the sponsorship packages of the MCPC is the opportunity to book an exhibition table in the main conference area. This is a great way to show your support to the MCPC community and at the same time also to connect with potential new clients and customers. Look at the conference website for details.
What is the difference between the MCPC 2011 and the CYO2011 event you are hosting in Berlin?
The CYO 2011 – Create Your Own 2011 – is a networking event for European entrepreneurs and managers in mass customization. It shall connect people in Europe doing mass customization and allow them to build networks, exchange experiences, and learn about some recent projects in the area funded by the European Union. It will be a one day event in Berlin on May 31.
The scope and scale of the MCPC 2011 will be much larger, with many more presentations, and also a larger focus on in-depth research and technical advancements. It also will be much more international in participation.
At the MCPC we will have more managers from large global organizations; while at the CYO there will be more makers, designers, and European startups. In my opinion, both events are complementary and target to different audiences. So if you can, let's meet at the CYO and the MCPC.
