Hello, Has annyone got a non-toll free number for the SigGraph housing office? I need to call them about a screw up in my form, but the toll free number doesn't work in Canada and I haven't been able to find a non-toll free number to call them at. Argh. Better yet...I'm still looking to see if I can get a piece of floor from anyone. I'll go splits on the room. Coming to think of it, anyone in need of a piece of floor out there? We may be able to work something out. Paul Paul A.

ACM/SIGGRAPH attempts to support non-US members and attendees to the best of its ability. The 800-972-1029 number is that of the Dallas Convention Bureau, not SIGGRAPH. For reasons that are beyond the scope of this news group, all enquiries are supposed to go directly to the convention people. However, if you can't reach them, try the "standard" SIGGRAPH conference management number 312/644-6610 (this is Chicago, if you care about the time zone) during normal business hours. If you explain your problem, they should be able to give you some help or a number to call.

The FAX number (214/746-6799) should work internationally (if, of course, you have FAX).

A check with the SIGGRAPH '90 conference management reveals that the 800 number is all that the Dallas Convention Bureau is willing to advertise. There have apparently been a number of complaints about the 800 number being difficult to use (busy or unanswered). There have been no complaints about the FAX number. So... The semi-official recommendation from the SIGGRAPH '90 conference management is that people use the FAX number if they need to contact the Dallas Convention Bureau regarding housing. It seems to work well.
