More details have been released on how, when and what kind of proposal to submit for the North Carolina PB meeting:

The conference will focus on mobile application cross-over, bringing data to and from the cloud, current user engagement ideals, and refactoring older code with a variety of technical training issues geared towards intermediate PowerBuilder developers.
If you have developed a class for in-house training, please consider sharing it with the community. The deadline to submit a session for consideration is November 1, 2013. Acceptance notifications will be sent out mid-November. Session length may be either 60, 90, or 120 minutes. Demo type presentations should be limited to sixty minutes; in depth technical discussions or detailed analysis/examples would be more appropriate for a 90 or 120 minute slot. Sessions need to be educational and technically focused. Intermediate level topics are encouraged. Speakers must be available to present during the entire span of the conference (March 5-7, 2014). We offer complimentary registration to the Charlotte PowerBuilder Conference to approved speakers. If you are selected as a presenter, your final presentation is due February 1, 2014.
