Thanks, Jeremy for posting this information about the upcoming Corvallis conference. If Richard doesn't mail responses to the inquiries soon, the whole thing is going to backfire on him, with people not taking the event seriously. Jake Schwartz

Jake, Jeremy and all: Thanx for the reminder. I relayed your note to
Richard Nelson, who jumped to his keyboard and knocked out the following:
+--------------------------------------------+
| HP Handheld User's Conference '91 |
| OSU - Corvallis, Oregon August 2-4, 1991 |
| |
| CONFERENCE FACT SHEET |
+--------------------------------------------+
HP handheld users interested in having fun and learning about the latest
advancements in the care, use, and why of HP handheld machines will be
interested in attending a conference dedicated to serious information
exchange. Printed proceedings are provided to all attendees. A fee is
charged to cover expenses only; speakers with papers in the proceedings
attend at no charge. A lunch is provided for two days of the formal
part of the conference. Activities will include an HP Plant Tour on
Friday, August 2nd. Friday is an informal day to register, visit local
vendors, and socialize with new (and old) friends who share your serious
interest in HP machines. Saturday and Sunday - ALL DAY - will be
dedicated to Technical Presentations. There will be an HP Open Forum
with a panel of HP engineers to answer all your specific questions
regarding HP handheld machines - especially the HP 48 and HP 95. Other
activities include door prizes, free handouts, demonstrations, and
vendor exhibits. Get plenty of sleep BEFORE Friday. Bring your
machines and discs for program swapping. Bring anything you may want to
share with others including "horse trading" items.
This is a rare opportunity to meet the people whose names you see in
books, on the BBS, and in articles related to HP's machines. We
selected this date to be convenient for HP. We have had two conferences
at OSU, one in 1980 and one in 1988. Both were well attended and
exciting. This one looks like it will be the best OSU conference yet.
Interest is very high; we have two new machines, and the attendance will
even include members from the UK Handheld and Portable Computer Club.
Call Richard Nelson at EduCALC at (714) 582-2637 8-5/M-F for additional
details. See you at at LeSELLS STEWART Center, Oregon State University,
875 SW 26th Street.
Activities:
FRIDAY: Register, get last minute details, maps, schedules, etc. at OSU
LeSalls Stewart Center. Take HP Plant Tour. Vendors set up exhibits -
See Vern. Attendees are invited to a dinner gathering hosted by the UK
Handheld and Portable Computer Club. Get details and map when
registering. Be sure to stop by OSU when you arrive in Corvallis. We
will have facilities for copying programs, socializing, etc.
SATURDAY: Open at 8 AM; sessions start at 9 AM. Introductions, papers
presented. The HP Open Forum is not scheduled as yet, but will be in
the afternoon on either Saturday or Sunday. Lunch provided about noon.
Soft drinks and coffee included during the conference days. Stewart
Center is scheduled to be open until 10 PM. We will either go late and
break for dinner - each on their own - or we will break at a reasonable
time and return with formal and informal presentations. Traditionally
community issues and informal discussions occur during Saturday evening.
SUNDAY: Open at 8 AM; sessions start at 9 AM. Ideally we would like the
HP Open Forum in the afternoon, best speaker awards, door prizes, and
conference wrap up. We try to get ideas for the next conference. The
UK group is planning on a UK international Conference in 1992. Is it
time to visit them again? Jake Schwartz is discussing with his group to
see if once again we will have a conference in Philadelphia. Our last
one in Philly was in April 1982.
Speakers (early, partial list only): Lee Woodriff, Bob Moore, Jeremy
Smith, Richard Nelson, Eric Vogel, Bill Wickes, Aaron Boonshoft, Greg
Sanker, Jake Schwartz, Brian Walsh, Tedd Dickens, Nader Rahimizad,
Vlodek Mier-Jedrzeowicz.
