Some testimonials include...
German Microwave Conference 2016 (Germany)
"Thank you very much for the excellent job. All information needed was provided very clearly. Your prompt feedbacks were helpful. The final results were perfect and the proceedings looked very good. I would like to recommend you to all organizers of future conferences."
2015 10th International Workshop on the Electromagnetic Compatibility of Integrated Circuits (UK)
"A prompt and efficient service with helpful advice along the way. With Causal Productions undertaking preparation and checking of the conference proceedings and generation of IEEE Xplore filesets we were able to concentrate on the organisation of the conference. I certainly expect to use them again in future conferences."
Interspeech 2015 (Germany)
"As an INTERSPEECH organizer you have to take a high financial risk and you have to save money wherever you can as long as you don’t know how many participants will actually attend your conference. There is no doubt that the production of the electronic proceedings and the abstract book by Causal Productions costs a substantial amount of money and at the very beginning we were wondering whether we could save this money for other purposes. To put it in a nutshell: we are glad we did not! The standardization of the authors’ names, their affiliations, etc. is an incredibly laborious job and it is definitely one of those you do not want to do on your own. We benefited a lot from the experience of Causal Productions and were very satisfied with their highly professional work. The e-mail correspondence with George was exemplary and we should have adopted it for the whole team. We definitely recommend Causal Productions for future INTERSPEECH conferences!"
2015 26th IEEE International Conference on Application-specific Systems, Architectures and Processors (Canada)
"We are very satisfied with Causal Production’s service. They are very responsive and helpful, which made it possible to smoothly manage the conference — for example, they suggested new options that are more suitable for our preference. We appreciate their sincere and earnest work."
2015 IEEE 31st International Conference on Data Engineering (Korea)
"As I said to you before, all the participants of ICDE 2015 were very satisfied with the professional proceedings. The quality of the proceedings and IEEE Xplore file sets is very high. I and my organization team members sincerely thank you for your kind guidance, helpful advice, and professional editing work. Sometimes I was surprised with your prompt response and careful comments for my frequent questions and even rude requests. If I have a chance, I would like to recommend you to the publication/proceedings chairs of the next ICDE or other conferences. I would like to thank you again for your professional and kind work."
German Microwave Conference 2015 (Germany)
"I was very satisfied with your service. Agreements were clearly formulated and tracked. Also your responses have been very well structured. Also I was very satisfied with quick reaction and immediate solutions to problems arising."
Interspeech 2014 (Singapore)
"Thank you very much. Your team has been great in responding to our request and assistance. We are very happy to have worked with you in Interspeech 2014."
2014 IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits Symposium (USA)
from General Chair: "As usual, Causal Productions did a fantastic job for RFIC this year. The quality of their work is top-notch. Their attention to detail is unmatched, greatly reducing the amount of work the volunteers need to do."

from Proceedings Chair: "I cannot stress enough how pleased I have been with working with Causal Productions and George."
2013 International Conference on Radar (Australia)
"I highly recommend Causal Productions for their preparation of conference proceedings. They are well-organised, responsive and pay great attention to getting the details correct. Our conference proceedings was published through IEEE Xplore and thus was subject to some exacting standards. Moreover, I was effectively new to the publication process and uncertain of some of the steps. Causal Productions’ professionalism ensured that the whole process went smoothly and that the final proceedings were of a high quality and met the IEEE standards. They answered all questions I had in a timely manner and I never needed to seek clarification. They were flexible and willing to adapt deadlines as the need arose. They extracted author details, affiliations and abstracts directly from the submitted PDF files, ensuring minimal effort on our part and the greatest accuracy. They standardised author names for accurate indexing and handled mathematical notation correctly. Finally, they dealt directly with authors regarding any typographic issues with specific papers. A job well done — thank you Causal Productions."
EMC Europe 2013 (Belgium)
"I have enjoyed working with you and your company a lot. I was involved in the organization of another conference in 2011 where we decided to do most of the work on the proceedings ourselves. That turned out to be a big mistake due to the enormous amount of work that this meant. For EMC Europe 2013, everything went so smoothly by working with Causal Productions — not only for the proceedings itself, but also for making sure that all papers are exactly as IEEE wants them. I would recommend Causal Productions to every organizer of a conference!"
Interspeech 2013 (France)
"As the publication chair of INTERSPEECH 2013, I am extremely satisfied with the work realized by Causal Productions for our conference. Causal Productions has been of a great help in producing very high quality conference proceedings which constitutes an important outcome and part of the success of the conference. Their long-term and deep experience about handling publications in such large conferences has further been a key asset to smoothly solve a number of critical and urgent issues that have arisen during the tight process of preparing the conference proceedings. This is why I strongly recommend future publications chairs to call upon Causal Productions for the proceedings."
2013 IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits Symposium (USA)
"We were very happy with everything you did for us this year. While I have never been a publications chair before and I didn’t have much to compare it to, everybody told me that the publication flow went very smoothly and our plan is to continue working with you guys!"
2013 IEEE 29th International Conference on Data Engineering (Australia)
"Our conference finished yesterday and a magnificent time was had by all. It was a very successful event, so we are relieved that all has gone well. Part of the success is your excellent, precise and expert production of our Proceedings, so big thanks to you and your team for that. Greatly appreciated! It’s a demanding task and your calm and very clear instructions helped ensure that the process moved along at a timely pace. We greatly appreciated your professional approach to all aspects of the production, and we’ve already recommended your services to other academic conference organisers. Thanks again and hope to work with Causal again in the future!"
14th Australasian International Conference on Speech Science and Technology (Australia)
"Causal Productions made organizing our electronic proceedings volume easy. They checked all papers for formatting errors and communicated directly with authors to fix them, were flexible when we decided to switch from CD-ROM to USB delivery, and quickly incorporated our design suggestions. The final product was delivered on time and according to specifications. I’d recommend Causal Productions to anyone editing academic conference proceedings."
Hydrology and Water Resources Symposium 2012 (Australia)
"As a member of the organising committee of the 34th Hydrology and Water Resources Symposium, I can say that we contracted the CD and document production process to Causal Productions and were very happy with the final product. During the process George and his team were responsive and were able to adapt to the last minute changes and yet still deliver a quality product on time."
2012 Australian Control Conference (Australia)
"After having been involved in the organisation of the Second Australian Control Conference (Sydney 2012) in charge of Publications, I can definitely recommend very highly the services provided by Causal Productions. From the start we were advised by the organisers of the previous conference (First Australian Control Conference, Melbourne 2011) that Causal Productions was the natural choice for the production of the CDROM proceedings. And, in hindsight, I totally agree with that recommendation. It was a pleasure working with Causal Productions all along, they provided very knowledgeable advice throughout the whole process and their responses and delivery were always timely. In particular, it was invaluable to us their careful checking of every single paper’s formatting and liaising with the authors whose manuscripts did not comply with the format required by IEEE Xplore. Their in-depth knowledge of the internal requirements of IEEE and Engineers Australia makes Causal Productions truly the natural choice for any conference in the electrical engineering field."
2012 IEEE International Conference on Ultra-Wideband (USA)
"It was indeed a pleasure working with Causal Productions. They made a detailed schedule very clear from beginning and everything went very well on time and even better than expectations. The conference proceedings on CD was very professional and fulfilling the requirements of IEEE Xplore. Words cannot be enough to thank Causal Production for their efforts and professionalism."
Interspeech 2011 (Italy)
"INTERSPEECH 2011 in Florence was indeed a big success. We are very satisfied with Causal Productions’ work and we would like to thank you for your hard and professional work. The quality of the Proceedings on CD was excellent and timing of deadlines was perfectly in line with our expectations. We surely recommended you to the next year’s organizers. It was indeed a pleasure working with your Company."
2011 IQEC/CLEO Pacific Rim Conference Incorporating ACOLS and ACOF (Australia)
"We just wanted to drop you a note post conference to say thank you for the hard work on the IQEC/CLEO Pacific Rim Proceedings CD. It was a big job with tight deadlines and your attention to detail was excellent. The client was very happy with the end product."
Psycholinguistic Representation of Tone conference 2011 (China)
"We wish to thank you sincerely for the CD-ROM proceedings. It looks fantastic, and we are very pleased! We also appreciate you completing the job ahead of schedule, especially since we contacted you rather late in the game! I’m pleased to report that the conference was a great success. There is even talk of another one in a few years time and we will certainly contact you again if this is the case."
34th IAHR World Congress (Australia)
"We were extremely satisfied with the Congress Proceedings CDROM that Causal Productions produced for our event. It exceeded our expectations and the quality was much higher than we had experienced before. The service from the skilled staff at Causal was also very professional. We plan to use Causal Productions for our future events and have already recommended their work to others in our field."
27th International Conference on Data Engineering (Germany)
"I want to let you know that the conference was a big success. Everybody enjoyed it. The USB sticks with the proceedings worked perfectly without any problems. Thank you for the great work. I already recommended you to the next year’s organizers in Washington."

2010 7th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (UK)
"Causal Productions produced our CDROM proceedings and IEEE Xplore fileset for our international conference (ISWCS 2010). The quality of presentation and organisation of the papers on the CDROM is excellent. The ability to search for papers through a variety of means makes it very easy to navigate. Causal Productions handled the submission process for camera-ready papers and liaised with authors to ensure that the papers met IEEE publication requirements. This removed a substantial burden from the organising committee. Causal Productions were professional and responsive to our needs throughout the entire production process and the product greatly exceeded expectations."
24th International Conference on Supercomputing (Japan)
"We are very happy to work with Causal Productions to produce the proceedings of the 2010 ACM International Conference on Supercomputing (ICS 2010). It was really a tight schedule for the ACM proceedings. The Causal production is only a company that accepts the production schedule without any sacrifice of the quality. I really appreciate the work of Causal Productions."
2010 IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits Symposium (USA)
"As the publication chair of RFIC 2010, I can inform you that the conference was a great success. You have contributed a lot to that success — your work in producing the RFIC 2010 proceedings CD was absolutely professional, very cooperative at the same time. I was really impressed on the turnaround times on answering enquiries. It was a very enjoyable experience for me to work with you."
32nd ACM/IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering (South Africa)
"As a first-time publications chair, I greatly appreciated Causal’s thorough and professional service. They encouraged us to think about several issues that I hadn’t considered in advance. Our proceedings covered over 20 separate events, but the entire process was smooth and seamless. Our Causal contact was terrific with communication: prompt, organized, and pre-emptive. I’ve recommended them highly to next year’s committee, as well as to another conference’s publications chair. Thanks, Causal!."
7th IEEE Working Conference on Mining Software Repositories (South Africa)
"Thank you so much for the production of the proceedings for our conference. We were very satisfied with the outcome. The proceedings were little work for us: we only provided the list of accepted papers and the final program. Causal Productions then collected the papers, prepared the proceedings, and shipped the proceedings to IEEE. It was worth every cent. I recommend Causal Productions to anyone wanting to produce proceedings and look forward to the next project with your company."
2010 IEEE 26th International Conference on Data Engineering (USA)
"We were very pleased with the quality of work and the professionalism of Causal Productions. Everything was prepared on time and with extreme attention to details. This is the second time our conference used Causal Productions and we had again an excellent experience."

"I wanted to write to thank you and Causal Productions for your great support of the 2010 International Conference on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICONN 2010), held in Sydney in February 2010. ICONN 2010 attracted over 700 delegates from more than 30 countries. Causal Productions provided fantastic support in preparing the manuscripts for our Conference Proceedings, together with assembling the final CD ROM of our Proceedings. You also provided great and on-time support in preparing the file-sets for the on-line Proceedings with IEEE Xplore. The overall quality and timeliness of your work was fantastic."
2009 International Conference on Field-Programmable Technology (Australia)
"I would like to express my thanks and appreciation for the manner in which Causal Productions conducts its business.

"Causal Productions has been involved in the preparation of the IEEE ESTIMedia proceedings for a number of years now, and this year they helped us to prepare our first CD-ROM proceedings. The results were, like in previous years, absolutely top quality. The people at Causal Productions are highly professional, have eye for details, are very knowledgeable, and deliver an excellent product in time and at a fair price. Not surprisingly, we certainly intend to continue our cooperation with Causal Productions in the future."
2009 10th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Grid Computing (Canada)
"Working with George at Causal Productions was a very enjoyable experience. Their expertise made for a smooth experience from the start when the first introductory email was sent to the finish when the USB flash drives of the proceedings were received. I was most impressed by their turnaround time on answering enquiries and their competitive rates. I will definitely recommend Causal Productions to the organizers of the next (IEEE/ACM Grid) conference and will use them in the future as required."
2009 6th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (Italy)
"Thank you for your excellent support in preparing the CD-ROM proceedings and delivering them according to the agreed schedule for the ISWCS’09 conference (Sep 7–10, 2009, Siena, Italy).

2009 ASME/IFToMM International Conference on Reconfigurable Mechanisms and Robots (UK)
"Causal Productions provides the excellent service with quality and speed. Meeting the customer’s demand has been demonstrated in the excellent service with patience and quick response. They always satisfy the customer with quick actions. I am in particular satisfied with the quality provided by Causal Productions. For the design and production of the CDROM proceedings and for the preparation of the book, Causal Productions demonstrated professional service and outstanding design and layout. All of our conference delegates were extremely pleased with the extraordinary quality of the book and CDROMs and highly praised the service."
2009 International Microwave Symposium (USA)
"Using PC with Vista and XP as well as Macintosh, I did some prodding of the IMS 2009 Digest CDROM MASTER Causal Productions has prepared for IMS 2009. In all cases I had no problems navigating in both directions and found your design easy and intuitive. Thank you very much for creating such a convenient and thorough navigation and display scheme! Thanks also for your auditing of the manuscripts and their titles/authors/affiliations etc — all resulting in a good and consistent look. We have imported your abstract book and will be issuing it as a separate document for attendees. Thanks again and we very much appreciated your careful preparation of our IMS 2009 Digest on CDROM."
2009 IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits Symposium (USA)
"As Digest & CD ROM Chair for the 2009 IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits Symposium, I am very glad that we chose Causal Productions for the conference CD.

Causal Productions’ attention to detail and experience of preparing file sets for IEEE Xplore also greatly helped to reduce my workload as Digest & CD ROM Chair."
9th International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (USA)
"Causal Productions delivered our final product — an electronic PDF of the 9th international NIME conference proceedings — with an intuitive interface and elegant layout in a timely manner. The service we received was excellent; George remained in nearly constant contact throughout the entire process, answering any questions or concerns that we had. I would absolutely recommend Causal Productions to anyone managing an academic conference."
2009 1st International Conference on Wireless Communications, Vehicular Technology, Information Theory and Aerospace & Electronics Systems Technology (Denmark)
"On behalf of the organizing committee of the Wireless VITAE 2009 held in Aalborg, Denmark, I would like to express our thanks to Causal Productions for being an excellent partner. The Wireless VITAE 2009 had several combined events and Causal Productions helped us publish a joint CDROM Master, book of abstracts and two separate file-sets to the IEEE Xplore. Throughout the process you were always very helpful even if many decisions were taken late. Emails to discuss the points were to the point, clear to understand and prompt. It is the second time we work together for a big conference and we will not hesitate to contact you again next time!"
20th International Zurich Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (Switzerland)
"As last years, I can assert that you did a really great job also this year. The conference CD master and the book masters (for the Symposium Proceedings, the Book of Abstracts and the Programme Booklet) were produced to a very high professional level. Indices of authors and papers were complete and also the other organizational information was typeset in a very attractive and consistent way. Despite the distance between two continents, the communication was perfect and deadlines were met to produce the final copies in Switzerland for the conference. Thank you very much for the perfect work. We shall keep you as the typesetter of EMC Zurich for future events."
2008 International Conference on Field-Programmable Technology (Taiwan)
"Causal Productions has come through for us once again. We had previously used Causal Productions for the publication of ICFPT 2006 proceedings with great results including CD-ROM master and electronic proceedings master. This year with our ICFPT 2008 proceedings, the added pressure of a later than expected author camera ready compliance and an early deadline requirement by the local printing press made for a very tight turnaround time for Causal Productions. With the high level of customer service and quick responses, Causal Productions actually beat our short deadline. We highly recommend Causal Productions for those in need of high quality IEEE compliant electronic proceedings."
2008 IEEE/ACM/IFIP Workshop on Embedded Systems for Real Time Multimedia (USA)
"Causal Productions has been preparing our IEEE ESTIMedia proceedings for three years now, and I must say, with great results! They are highly professional, have eye for details, are very knowledgeable, and deliver an excellent product in time and at a fair price. Not surprisingly, we certainly intend to continue our cooperation with Causal Productions in the future."
European Microwave Conference Archive 2004–2008 DVD (Belgium)
"The European Microwave Association, EuMA, is very pleased with the Archival DVD you produced with all the papers presented at the European Microwave Conferences 2004–2008. You solved quite elegantly the transition between this DVD and the one with the years 1969–2003. It has been a pleasure for EuMA working with Causal Productions on this project."
2008 9th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Grid Computing (Japan)
"Grid 2008 participants, organizing committees and I are very satisfied with the quality of the proceedings CDROM. Your experience and management and communication skills have made the cumbersome process of making a conference proceedings much simpler than what I have expected. Thank you very much."
Auditory-Visual Speech Processing 2008 (Australia)
"Causal Productions prepared the CD-ROM proceedings for our AVSP 2008 conference. They did an excellent job and we would use them again anytime. Causal Productions impressed with their professionalism, responsiveness, knowledge, communication skills — and all at a fair price. Causal Productions have been the producer of AVSP CD-ROM proceedings for many years and we will highly recommend them to future organisers of AVSP conferences. We greatly appreciate the excellent job Causal Productions have done."
Interspeech 2008 (Australia)
"On behalf of the Interspeech 2008 committee, I am writing to express our appreciation of the great work you and your team did in preparing the Proceedings of the conference and the Abstracts booklet. As chief editor, I was particularly grateful for your prompt response to any queries about format or procedure and also for the speed with which proofs were prepared. The turnaround of different versions was extraordinarily efficient and it certainly made our job as editors, far easier than it could have been. We received excellent feedback from conference attendees about the high quality of the publications, so I would like to thank you once again for a fantastic job. I would encourage any future Interspeech committee to use CAUSAL."
10th International Conference on Music Perception and Cognition (Japan)
"The high quality of work done by Causal Productions is self-evident in their product, with their high skill, awareness on details, and user-friendly considerations showing on every corner of our CD-ROM proceedings. However, the greatest pleasure working with Causal was in the collaboration process itself. For every minuscule questions and tedious requests we made, their response was always prompt and to the point, accompanied with suggestions and offers made for the benefit of their client. Their sincere attitude, high technical capability and broad experience convinced us that we were working with a truly professional team, and gave us confidence that we had selected the right guys. It’s a pity that such wonderful exchanges have now come to a halt, at least till the next opportunity to work with them."
2008 IEEE 8th International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (Australia)
"Many thanks for your high quality CD-ROM proceedings produced for CIT2008. Particularly, I am very satisfied with your professional and efficient services. I am very happy to recommend my colleagues to work with you in the future for any possible conference organization. Look forward to working with you again."
2008 IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits Symposium (USA)
"As the publications chair for RFIC 2008, I’ve been very happy with Causal’s schedule driven, detail oriented and methodical approach. Causal’s clear and easy to access paper database even helped us detect and correct errors in section dividers and many other parts of the proceedings. I strongly recommend Causal for technical conference steering committees."
Water Down Under 2008 (Australia)
"Causal Productions produced a highly professional CD for our conference. Not long after the conference, delegates wrote to us to comment that this was the best conference publication they had seen yet. We found the team at Causal Productions were flexible in handling the requests of authors and thorough in their final preparation of each paper."
2008 IEEE 24th International Conference on Data Engineering (Mexico)
from Proceedings Chair: "Let me take the chance to thank you very much for all your excellent work, the very persistent attention to the project, your professional advice, your dealing with all sorts of details, and the determination for delivering excellent quality!! This was the first time I took on the responsibility of a proceedings chair, and I am very grateful to have had all this help from you!! Many thanks once again, it has been an excellent collaboration. Needless to say, if any of your future potential customers need some good words about your work quality, please feel free to let them ask me, I have only the best words to say."

from General Co-Chair: "We are very satisfied with the quality of the work of Causal Productions. Throughout the whole process you were always very professional and it was a great pleasure working with you. The whole experience was excellent and I wouldn’t doubt in using your services in other occasions."
IEEE-RAS 7th International Conference on Humanoid Robots (USA)
"Causal Productions did an excellent job in preparing our international conference proceedings. The staff provides prompt and professional service, and I recommend them without reservation."
15th IEEE International Conference on Networks (Australia)
"Selecting Causal Productions as our proceedings CD producer made my job as the Publication Chair of ICON 2007 a lot easier than I anticipated. We only needed to give them access to our online paper management system and they did everything from formatting papers to designing proceedings CD cover to producing the IEEE compatible proceedings CDs. They always answered our questions to our satisfaction in a timely manner and always provided suggestions to improve the quality of the proceedings CD. I highly recommend Causal Productions’ services to all conference organisers and it’s a must if you need to produce an IEEE compatible proceedings CD. On behalf of the ICON 2007 organising committee, I wish to thank Causal Productions for the great service they have provided us during ICON 2007."
Concrete 2007 (Australia)
"The CONCRETE 07 Organising Committee was very pleased with the production of the CONCRETE 07 Proceedings CD. The final result exceeded our expectations as the layout, search options, and thorough indexing was better than the previous conference. Also, your follow-up of authors was much appreciated, as was the proof reading of the contents. Your system also made production of the abstract book and proceedings hard copy very easy. We would have no hesitation in recommending your company for future conferences."
IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems 2007 (Norway)
"As the Publication Chair, I found that Causal Productions was quick in offering helpful advice and quick in addressing any issues that came up during the preparation of the conference proceedings. In particular, I would like to thank George Vokalek of Causal Productions for his kind help. I look forward to working with Causal Productions again in future."
European Microwave Week 2007 (Germany)
"The EuMW2007 publication team is very satisfied with the CD production and the results. The quality of the produced CD is of very high standard and we didn’t hear any complaints. We appreciate also the collaboration with Causal Productions which was always very efficient and professional. Thanks again!"
2007 IEEE/ACM/IFIP Workshop on Embedded Systems for Real Time Multimedia (Austria)
"This is the third time that we worked with you and as before, we are very pleased with the result. I shall certainly get back to you again and refer my colleagues to your company."
23rd IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance (France)
"The organizing committee and the attendees of ICSM 2007 were enthusiastic about the quality of the CDROM content produced for ICSM by Causal Productions. As proceedings chair of ICSM 2007, I also was very happy for the efficiency of your company in the production process and I hope I will be able to work again with you in the future."
18th International Zurich Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (Germany)
"The service you provided was excellent in all aspects. Whenever we had some wishes concerning changes or new add-on’s, you were able to implement them, or you proposed your own usually better ideas. This was particularly true with reference to the conference program booklet which was very helpful both for us and for the conference attendees. The book of abstracts and the book masters for both the symposium digest and for the industrial forum were perfect. In particular, we appreciate the great work of compiling the list of authors directly from the papers and not from the registration database. It has been our experience that some authors are quite lazy in filling out the registration forms hence leading to incorrect or incomplete or inconsistent author details. However, most authors would provide correct and complete author details on their papers. The list of author names you compiled is therefore of much higher quality. It is also of great importance that the layout and the spellings in all printed materials are in a consistent way. This has been done on your initiative and gives a really professional look. Thank you very much for your great work. We shall definitely ask you again for our next symposium in 2009 and would be happy if you could do the same great job again."
2007 IEEE International Conference on Cluster Computing (USA)
"We reviewed several bids, including one from IEEE, for creating the Cluster 2007 CDs. By a large margin Causal Productions had the lowest bid. The price difference was enough for us to provide additional support for our Tutorial Participants. But even more important was the service we received from Causal Productions. They were always prompt and courteous. George Vokalek also worked with our graphics people for the custom label. The label graphics was impressive, and rendered in full detail. By following their suggested time-table and instructions on delivering required material, we stayed on schedule and were very comfortable with the delivery date. Even though we communicated half-way across the world, it was no different than working with a company here in USA (I tracked the CD delivery, and it only took 3 days!). We were really pleased with Causal Productions, and highly recommend them for producing CDs for your conference."
Interspeech 2007 (Belgium)
"We are very pleased we opted for working with Causal productions. Making proceedings of good quality is a time-consuming job and they have the experience and professionalism to bring the mission to a good end at a fair price. They were flexible in adjusting their product and process to meet the needs of our specific conference and the expectations of its participants. Working with Causal was a pleasure: their communication is just perfect and my initial concern about the time-zone difference vanished quickly by their consistently fast response times."
2007 IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits Symposium (USA)
"As the CD ROM/ Digest Chairman for the 2007 RFIC Conference, I chose Causal Productions to create the CD ROMs. I chose Causal over the incumbent vendor, due to the glowing references Causal received from colleagues who used Causal for another conference. After working with Causal for the past 6 months, in retrospect, I am very happy with this decision. Causal was very proactive, always one step ahead of me, guiding me through the entire process. Causal was a pleasure to work with, as they were always very helpful and professional. Causal’s detailed and accurate work provided a valuable baseline for checking other conference publications. Causal was always on or ahead of schedule, in spite of receiving material late from us on a number of occasions. The final CD ROM was of highest quality. In summary, I couldn’t have been happier with the job Causal did for our conference, and recommend them wholeheartedly."
2007 Information, Decision and Control (Australia)
"We selected Causal Productions for IDC 2007 following the positive experience I had of working with your company during the production of the proceedings for IDC 2002. Causal Productions has exceeded my expectations which were based on your excellent service for IDC 2002. I have no hesitation highly recommending your company and I look forward to working with you again for future Information, Decision and Control Conferences."
2006 IEEE International Conference on Field-Programmable Technology (Thailand)
"Thank you very much for your service. Causal Productions has helped us a lot. Causal Productions basically takes care of everything from sorting out an IEEE catalogue number to directly contacting the authors to make sure that everything is according to IEEE format. We strongly recommend Causal Productions to anyone who needs to organize a conference."
2006 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials and Devices (Australia)
"The COMMAD 2006 Organising Committee would like to thank the Director and team of Causal Productions for a great job and the positive response to all our requests. We are prepared to recommend your services to any other conference."
2006 6th IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots (Italy)
"We would like to thank you for the excellent result and very professional work done in preparing the CDROM proceedings of the conference. Not only the CDROM complies smoothly with the IEEE standards but also the professional support provided during the preparation phase has helped us very much in reaching an excellent result. We will certainly recommend Causal Productions to the general chair of the next Humanoids conference in Pittsburgh USA. We look forward to working with you again in future."
2006 ASSSI – ASPAC – ACMS National Soils Conference (Australia)
"We were very pleased with the printed version of the Book of Abstracts, but perhaps more importantly we were highly impressed with George’s attention to detail, his unsolicited suggestions (which improved the quality significantly) and his willingness to put up with changes right up to printing time. We will definitely use George’s services again, and recommend him to any conference organisers."
2006 IEEE/ACM/IFIP Workshop on Embedded Systems for Real Time Multimedia (Korea)
"This was the second time that I worked with you (FPT’05 and ESTIMedia’06). Again, in my opinion your work was very professional and well-done. I also appreciated all the feedback that you provided on the cover-page design, which was beyond your job description. Hence, I shall be happy to work with you again and recommend your services to my colleagues."
1st European Academic Workshop on Electronic Human Resource Management (The Netherlands)
"On behalf of the entire organizing committee, I would like to express our deep appreciation of your work. We learnt from you how to manage a ‘virtual’ team during the preparation of the CD proceedings. You are in Australia, we are in The Netherlands, but you have succeeded in leading us according to the agreed-upon schedule. Regarding your work, the best indicator of its good quality was that all participants of the workshop were delighted about the CD proceedings. Its professional design, clear structure and easiness to navigate made it very useful to our workshop. It has definitely increased the image of our workshop! I would recommend Causal Productions to any organizer of scientific/business meetings who needs a CD-based publication. And of course I do hope that we will work further together in the preparation of the proceedings for our 2nd eHRM Workshop!"
7th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Grid Computing (Spain)
"Throughout the entire production process, Causal Productions has provided extremely good services. In particular, I am impressed with their capabilities and readiness in offering constructive comments and options to avoid pitfalls. The proceedings CDROMs were delivered on time and are of very high quality. I have already recommended their services to colleagues who are organising other conferences."
Interspeech 2006 — ICSLP (USA)
"Causal Productions were efficient, knowledgeable and experienced at the non-trivial task of taking the 650 papers for Interspeech 2006 and making them into a proper set of academic proceedings. The task of layout, gathering corrections from authors, collating indices (and merging names) along with probably a whole set of other tasks were done efficiently behind the scenes and the product was delivered on time. As a specific example, when we questioned the use of one Indian author’s surname as a single letter, we were informed that Causal Productions had contacted all such authors to confirm that that was the right appellation, and pointed to a Wikipedia article explaining that use of names in India. Causal Productions understands how to build academic proceedings in this electronic age. Although Causal Productions is on the other side of the planet from us, that was never an issue, we had speedy communication through the whole process. If you want proceedings generation to be easy I strongly recommend letting Causal Productions do the work."
2006 Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand Conference (Australia)
"We have worked in association with Causal Productions for more than 10 years and have pleasure recommending them as world-class professionals. I do so without reservation. Regardless of the size or complexity of the task, Causal Productions has always provided the same level of support and commitment. No job is ever too small or large. They are thoroughly professional, able to make plans and decisions without prompting, but with ideal readiness to accept direction. In all respects, the support provided by Causal Productions is of the highest quality. Using Causal Productions to produce conference proceedings to tight deadlines has always been a remarkably painless experience."
9th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications (USA)
"Regarding the CDROM production — it was first class all the way. You guys have been very accommodating and your commitment to get things done in timely manner was extraordinary. WPMC 2006 organizing team and I really appreciate your support for getting the CDROM produced in time after our repeated last-minute changes and we won’t hesitate to call upon you again. I am really happy that we chose you and one of the take-aways from this conference would be your support and attention to details."
European Microwave Week 2006 (UK)
"Causal Productions was selected for the production of the CDs for this year’s European Microwave Week conferences. In total these conferences consisted of 770 technical papers which were arranged on the 4 separate conference CDs according to the respective session plans. In addition to the individual CDs, Causal Productions also delivered separate IEEE Xplore compatible CDs for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore database. The production of the CDs ran smoothly. The professional, prompt and efficient level of electronic communication during the CD composition phase particularly impressed me. On no occasion need I consider the 10 hour time difference between the UK and Australia, Causal Productions provided a 24 hour, 7 days a week service. Their clear priority is to help all the authors and in turn the TPC to produce a fully accurate record of the conference publications. The final CDs were delivered to the Conferences on time. The content was first class, with well organised navigation, indexing and an easy-to-use interface. I had several comments from delegates that these features were superior to those of other conferences in this field. In summary, I found Causal Productions excellent to work with. Causal Productions produced high quality CDs on time and in the specified budget. My recommendation to EuMW2007 is to use Causal Productions again, and I would highly recommend them to others as well."
7th International CINet Conference (Italy)
"Already the third year that you produced the CD-ROM’s for our CINet conference and also this year the participants were very excited about the quality of the CD-ROM! Also we as the organizers were so glad that you were always there for us with every (stupid) question we had. Always very quick, always to the point. Most impressive is the way you think with us, and sometimes even for us. So very convenient to not have to worry about all that anymore and to be able to fully rely on you, to know that it is all being taken care of in a very professional way!! Thanks again."
2006 International Conference on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (Australia)
"I am writing to thank you for all your efforts in producing high quality Proceedings of 2006 International Conference on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology held in Brisbane in July 2006. Overall, we are pleased with the professionalism you have shown during the entire process with particular attention to detail. The quality of the final proceedings has been excellent. We are very much looking forward to working with you in the future."
14th IFAC Symposium on System Identification (Australia)
"This is to mention how impressed I was with the service and results from Causal Productions in relation to the 14th IFAC Symposium on System Identification, http://sysid2006.org which I chaired. As you know, I sought your help because of my very positive experience working with you earlier for the IEEE Conference on Decision and Control in 2000. The CD’s you produced were terrific for both conferences. For SYSID 2006 just passed I had zero complaints/concerns from any of my 230 delegates using them across many Apple/Microsoft/Linux platforms. In particular, I really appreciated the attention to detail whereby you interacted with authors and hand checked uploads to make sure of zero errors — which is what we achieved. If I ever am involved with a conference organisation again (I hope not!) I will not hesitate to use you — your flexibility, attention to detail and mastery of technical detail would be impossible to beat. Thanks again."
2005 IEEE International Conference on Field-Programmable Technology (Singapore)
"I was really impressed with how you responded to all our enquiries in a timely fashion and meticulously attended to all the details. Without your services it would never have been possible to come up with a publication of this quality. I also appreciated your experience with IEEE requirements, which made our job a lot simpler. I would certainly be very happy to recommend your company to my colleagues and other conference organizers, and I would myself look forward to working with you again!"
2005 Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks & Information Processing Conference (Australia)
"We fully appreciate Causal Productions exceptional services. Causal Productions provided excellent publishing services for our conference (ISSNIP 2005). Their staff were willing to assist with our strict requirements and they delivered to our expectations on schedule. They were also helpful in assisting in last minute changes and even then were still highly meticulous in rendering their services. Thank you Causal Productions!"
2005 IEEE Automatic Speech Recognition and Understanding Workshop (Puerto Rico)
"I have worked with Causal Productions for the IEEE ASRU Workshop in 2005. They did a great job, even though the conference location had to be changed from Cancun to Puerto Rico 3 weeks before the workshop date, they adapted to the change quickly. They always responded to e-mails on time, and tried to help with every detail. I had contacted 5 other publishers to get a quote at the same time with Causal Productions; Causal was by far the cheapest, most responsive and very experienced about IEEE requirements."
European Microwave Week 2005 (France)
"On behalf of the organizing team of the European Microwave Week 2005 (EuMW2005) held in Paris, I would like to recognize the excellent work performed by Causal Productions. The EuMW2005 event had four different conferences which jointly published one proceedings and one Book of Abstracts, so the editing task performed by Causal Productions was definitively a complex one. During the whole production process, Causal Productions were quick and clear in addressing many issues. For the whole event, Causal Productions produced the proceedings CDROM, the Book of Abstracts and a ready-to-print proceedings book file for each of the four conferences. Causal Productions delivered on time and with high quality."
8th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications (Denmark)
"We are very pleased with your company. The service was extremely good. Emails to discuss the points for the proceedings and CDROM were to the point, very clear to understand and prompt. You went an extra mile to find the correct affiliates of people which we were not sure of, which we really appreciate."
6th International CINet Conference (UK)
"The 6th International CINet Conference (Brighton, United Kingdom) was a great success and the CD-ROM that you produced for us contributed to that to a large extent!! Just like last year when you produced the CD-ROMs for us for our 5th International Conference in Sydney, Australia, all participants were extremely happy with it. Also for me as a conference organiser your very professional but at the same time personal approach is outstanding! Thanks again!"
Interspeech 2005 — Eurospeech (Portugal)
"The organising committee of the Interspeech 2005 are satisfied for having chosen Causal for producing the CDROM and abstract book of the conference. George Vokalek was always very professional and responsive and his contact with the authors very friendly. If we decide to organise another conference, our first choice will be Causal and George."
4th International Conference on the Management of Healthcare & Medical Technology (Denmark)
"On behalf of the HCTM organizing committee I would like to express my gratitude for the excellent job you did in the production of the CD-ROM proceedings for the HCTM Conference 2005. Efficiency, flexibility and professionalism are truthful words to use when describing the work and service you provided — a real pleasure working with you, and should the need arise, I will have no hesitation in making use of Causal Productions. Thus, I can highly recommend you to others."
Auditory-Visual Speech Processing 2005 (Canada)
"As usual, all stages of the process — quoting, interaction with our staff, compilation, and production of the final product were handled beautifully and professionally and with the minimum of fuss for us. The final product is great, as are all the other CD-Roms you have produced for us over the years."
16th International Zurich Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (Switzerland)
"EMC Zurich 2005 was a success and we received numerous positive feedbacks from participants. I would like to thank you again for your excellent job.

Your proactive and highly professional approach and your constructive suggestions and help were greatly appreciated. I can highly recommend your service to others and will certainly use Causal Productions again in the future."
2004 IEEE International Conference on Field-Programmable Technology (Australia)
"The finished product was delivered on time, on budget, and was of outstanding quality. Your flexibility in working with our processes and shifting deadlines was greatly appreciated. To me as Publications Chair, one of the most valuable aspects of your service was that you stayed on top of everything that needed to be done, rather than waiting for me to chase things up. In the situation where I was coordinating multiple people across multiple activities, your tenacity and ability to anticipate were absolutely invaluable. I am still amazed at how stress-free it was."
2004 Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks & Information Processing Conference (Australia)
"From my point of view the organisation of the CD production was excellent and after trying to do the last conference CD inhouse this was an absolute breeze. I think I would be hard pressed to go elsewhere in the future."
European Microwave Week 2004 (The Netherlands)
"All my committees have confirmed that they are very pleased with the design and options offered by the CDROM. It is among the best available today. Also the printed proceedings and book of abstracts produced by Causal Productions were received very well. The procedure chosen by Causal for ensuring a high quality of the proceedings includes that the formatted papers are verified by the authors and corrected if necessary. Causal established the contacts with the authors without intervention of my committees, thus saving us a significant workload. Causal staff was easily accessible and friendly responsive. The feedback provided by Causal on the progress of the production process of the conference records was efficient and timely. Remaining problems were solved in close consultation with my committees, so that our preferences were respected. Causal’s process and progress was transparent, on time, demonstrating a high awareness of quality and within budget. In short: Causal did an excellent job."
5th International CINet Conference (Australia)
"We were extremely pleased with the final CD-ROM product. We found your company to be very cooperative and easy to communicate with and we appreciated the flexibility shown on the production time-line when we changed our own timetable. We would have no hesitation in recommending your company to other organisations who have the need to produce compiled proceedings on CD-ROM."

"We were very quite pleased with the quality of the CDROM and also with the interactions we had with you during the course of putting the CDROM together. Caual Productions certainly did an excellent job."
8th International Conference on Music Perception & Cognition (USA)
"I would like to express my sincere thanks to you and your staff at Causal Productions for the *incredible* job that you did creating our conference CD-ROM proceedings. The content is beautifully organized, user-friendly, and impeccably designed. The cover design and CD imprint provide a truly professional appearance to the entire package. Quite simply, you surpassed even our greatest expectations and, I must confess, that these expectations were rather high to begin with. The results of your effort made *me* come off looking very good and, for that, I will always be appreciative."
7th World Biomaterials Congress (Australia)
"I was very pleased with the CD of the proceeding that you produced. It has proved easy to use and I have received no adverse feedback at all. We were pleased with the fairly short lead time that was required to make the disc."

EDUCAUSE in Australasia 2003 (Australia)
"The CD-ROM was delivered on-time and on-budget, without any problems, and was a hit with delegates. The process couldn’t have been smoother. It was one of the best decisions the conference organising committee made. I would recommend Causal Productions to any conference committee."
Acoustics 2002 (Australia)
"With all the millions of other things to arrange for the conference, it was great to have Causal take care of all the aspects of the CD-ROM production, including contacting the authors and providing them with the final proofs. I will definitely be back in touch for the next conference that I am involved with."
2002 Road Safety (Australia)
"The CD for RS2002 was excellent. That was a great relief after the strife the committee had in getting a CD made for the previous Conference - that CD never worked properly. George Vokalek should be congratulated for his management of a tricky job that went wrong last year."
4th Asian Control Conference (Singapore)

I would strongly recommend Causal for any future conferences that I am involved in."
7th International Conference on Music Perception & Cognition (Australia)

"The AIP Congress brings together different member societies and as a result it has a complex structure. The final CD-ROM and its graphic design cover were an outstanding success. I have had so many favorable comments back about them."
2002 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (USA)
"In addition to delivering high quality CDROMs to IMS2002 on time and for a reasonable price, you provided a key service to the workshop team by taking a leading role in compiling all of the workshop papers so they could be published in an orderly fashion on the CDROM. Your expertise, insight and hard work were very appreciated by the whole team. If I am involved with another project in the future requiring CDROM production, I will definitely recommend you for this task."
2002 IT Business Forum (Australia)
"The advice and guidance you provided was invaluable. I also appreciate you working to our tight deadlines and delivering the 1000 CD ROMs requested within the timeframe required.
