I am soliciting student help for the Supercomputing '90 conference in NYC in November. Volunteers will have registration waived, and will get a free (shared) room at the conference - a large consideration considering NYC hotel costs. If you are still interested in volunteering for SC90 please fill out the form below and return to me as requested. Please note that transportation to NYC is NOT provided. Meals per se are not included either, but the complementary conference registration includes a banquet (Thu), a lunch (Thu), and a number of receptions. Also, there will be hospitality suites run by various vendors, usually featuring heavy hors d'oeuvres, daily.
