The International Conference on ISO 9000, slated for Feb. 28 through March 2, 2005, in Orlando, Florida, is seeking proposals for technical sessions and workshops.

The theme for next year’s conference is "Proven Strategies for Performance and Profit." The industries represented at the conference include a cross-section of aerospace, defense, government, automotive, service, public safety, chemicals, construction, electronics, telecommunications, energy, equipment, financial, food and beverages, health care, information technology, medical devices, metals, mining, agriculture, optical, pharmaceuticals, printing, public administration, recycling, rubber and plastic products, textiles and transportation organizations.

The technical committee in charge of developing the program is interested in proposals rich in practical information, proven strategies and lessons learned. Although technical presentations typically last 45 minutes, including question and answer sessions, the committee will consider presentations between 30 and 90 minutes in length. Workshops are typically four hours to three days. There is no limit to the type or number of proposals that parties may submit.
