A Call For Speakers

Share Your Experiences

ATA invites you to submit a proposal to present at the 2010 ATA e-Business Forum, to be held May 17-19, 2010 in Seattle, Washington. As you may know, the ATA e-Business Forum is the industry's premier event to learn about the latest developments in information exchange standards to support engineering, maintenance, materiel and flight operations. We're looking for speakers willing to share their experiences about implementation of ATA e-business specifications (Spec 2000, iSpec 2200, Spec 2300, Spec 42 and S1000D) and related standards and technologies.

Do you have solutions for particular technical or business problems you may have encountered?
Are you on the leading edge of implementing new standards? 
Are you finding new and creative ways to broaden your implementation? 
Are the ATA or S1000D standards a key component of your business strategy?

If you can answer yes to any of these questions, then we want to hear your stories.  As a speaker at the ATA e-Business Forum, you are seen as a leader who is helping to shape the future for our industry. Please note that this opportunity is for non-commercial presentations only. We will be offering several other opportunities for solution providers to market their products and services but are reserving these sessions for educational/informational presentations.
