Toward this end we will sponsor a two-day seminar in Ann Arbor, Michigan, May 20 and 21. "Making Your NSFNET Connection Count" will be an informative seminar focusing on issues of interest to campus computing leaders, information systems and networking administrators, educational liaisons, librarians, and educators who want to learn more about national networking. Day 1, "Real People Doing Real Things," will feature a number of presentations concerning network applications in education from the elementary grades through the college level. The Day 1 activities will begin with a keynote address by Paul Evans Peters, Director, Coalition for Networked Information and will close with a tour of the Merit Network Operations Center. Day 2, "How to Get Connected and Stay Connected" will provide local, state, mid-level, and national networking perspectives from the experts. Day 2 will also be comprised of presentations on internetworking, information/user services, and network operations. The seminar will be held at the Tenneco Automotive Training and Development Center in Ann Arbor. Microcomputers connected to regional and national networks will be available on-site so that attendees may access network resources discussed in the presentations. The registration fee is $395. An early-bird fee of $345 will be charged for registrations received before April 15, 1991. This fee includes the two-day seminar, a reception on Sunday evening, lunch on Monday and Tuesday, all seminar material, and an optional tour of the Network Operations Center.
