Subject:Re: STC Annual Conference Information From:Bob Morrisette <writer1 -at- SABU -dot- ENG -dot- SUN -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 4 Jan 1999 10:44:14 -0800
Last week I asked you for STC conference information because the
STC web site stated that the information will not be available
until after January 30. I heard from Dr. Lory Hawkes at STC and
am passing on what I received:
"Recognizing that planning in your company may require advanced
information, let me give you a quick rundown of the conference. It will
be held in Cincinnati May 16-19. The registration fee is $410 for a
member for the full conference (if fee is received by May 7, 1999). The
room rate will be $125-135 for a single room. The convention center
will host most of the events and the convention center is in walking
distance from the convention hotels. You have to use the housing form
to register for the hotel. If you want to take advantage of the
Post-Conference Workshops and Tutorials, that is on May 20. Half day
sessions are $95 and full day sessions are $190. These sessions are
in-depth studies or hands-on workshops lead by experts in their field.
As far as the schedule of sessions, the preliminary program will have
the full listing. This year, the Society Office will put the Proceedings
on the web to help you decide which session to attend.
The reason that it take a while to get the information to the membership
in the form of the preliminary program is because we are trying to make
it as complete as possible. The program itself goes to a number of
people so that we can find mistakes."
