    <full-description>SemTech 2007 is a world-class educational program. Join us this year, as an attendee, presenter, exhibitor, or sponsor. The program will include a wide variety of presentations - both business and technology focused - from all communities. 

At the 2007 Semantic Technology Conference, May 20-24, in San Jose, California, you have the unique opportunity to learn from at least 24 organizations that are currently implementing semantic technologies in applications and services that are in production today.

We've moved beyond general conversations about what semantic technologies should be able to accomplish at some point in the future. At SemTech you'll learn the details of exactly what's worked and what hasn't when building semantic applications, and how your organization can start applying these techniques and tools in your development environment.

    <full-description>The Center for Internet Research (TCFIR), in concert with Colorado State University is hosting &#226;&#8364;&#339;21st Century Education &#226;&#8364;&#8220; The Real and the Ideal&#226;&#8364;&#157;, a conference focused on &#226;&#8364;&#339;what&#226;&#8364;&#8482;s next&#226;&#8364;&#157; in the social/cultural, methodological, and technological dimensions of education. The conference theme speaks to the need for a realistic appraisal of the state of education and reform efforts, and what present realities indicate for the future, coupled with constructive and well-informed speculation about how change in education can be better managed to serve the need of students, educators, parents, industry, and society as a whole; the real and the ideal.

We believe that bringing together leaders in education, business, academia, and government in a conference environment organized around these themes will produce significant new ideas, perspectives, and initiatives unlike other education conferences.

We request your presence at &#226;&#8364;&#339;21st Century Education &#226;&#8364;&#8220; The Real and the Ideal&#226;&#8364;&#157;, October 9 and 10, in Ft. Collins, Colorado.
