The conference sounds very very interesting indeed!

To reach more people, may I suggest the STC contact the other members 
of INTECOM? I represent one such society, STIC, in the Netherlands, 
and I know for a fact that STC never contacted us; so I expect none 
of the other societies for TC was contacted.

It's too late now to publish your call for papers on our website and 
expect any return. But if anyone from STC asks me some time in 2009 
I'll be only too happy to advertise the event, and include it in our 
newsletter. I am certain the same goes for all the other societies 
that are a member of INTECOM. After all, that's what INTECOM is for.

Best,
-Brigit van Loggem (STIC secretary)
