Online registration is now available for the Fifth Annual MeL Users Day 2009. To liven things up this year, we are introducing a new segment of Pecha Kucha presentations.

Pecha Kucha — also known as “w00tSlam” or “Lightning Round” — is a presentation format based on the triad:  “Be brief! Be brilliant! Be gone!” In the 20×20 Pecha Kucha format, each presenter is allowed a slideshow of 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds. This results in a total presentation time of 6 minutes 40 seconds before the next presenter is up.

In addition to six Pecha Kucha presentations, this year’s MeL Users Day agenda includes an open discussion time, conventional break-out sessions, and a peek at what’s in store for MeL in the future.

MeL Users Day 2009 will be held at the Lansing Center on April 13, 2009. For detailed information on MeL Users Day, see MLC’s News & Announcements web page: http://mlcnet.org/cms/sitem.cfm/news__announcements/mel_users_day_2009/
