>> the topics listed above will be considered for selection.
>> Demonstrations are designed to give exhibitors an opportunity to show

>> conference.  It is important that there be a realized, demonstrable,
>> working component to all submissions to this category.  This is  
>> not to
>> say that Demos cannot be sketches or further ideas or future plans  
>> for
>> the project - but an activity, process, action or actionable form of
>> the concept must exist as part of the Demo proposed.
>>
>> Demos must include a 2 page poster to be displayed at the Demo
>> Sessions and included in the printed proceedings.  The poster should
>> address the scientific/technical aspects of the project, acquired
>> experiences and/or the context of the development.

>> For those submitting papers, we will provide the possibility of
>> scheduling demo presentations within the dedicated Demo Sessions.  
>> The submission
>> procedure will allow that a Demo option be chosen for any Paper
>> submission.   An accepted paper will not guarantee an accepted demo.
>>

>> - Demo (Demonstration space plus 2 pages in proceedings)
>>
>>
>> LIVE PERFORMANCES
>> A series of three evening concerts as well as 'NIME-at-night' events

>> creative
>> use of interactive instrument technology and performance systems.   
>> One
>> of the evening concerts will feature commissioned performers playing
>> work from their repertoire as well as pieces submitted through the
>> Live Performances call.

>> on Thursday, June 7th and ending in the evening on Saturday June 9th.
