The Conference on
Computer Supported Cooperative Work
7-10 October 1990
Biltmore Hotel
Los Angeles California
Registration Info and Preliminary Program
* * * * *
The advance program as well as hotel reservation and conference registration
forms are available in the August issue of CACM; people on the CSCW mailing
list will get mailed copies at about the same time. But here it is in
summary form.
The advance registration fee for ACM members is $195; for nonmembers it's
$235. Advance registration closes on 10 September, after which the fees
are $270 and $310, respectively. The registration fee includes the
Proceedings; two receptions (the Monday evening reception will include
food that should be adequate to count as dinner for all but the very, very
hungry!); continental breakfast as well as morning and afternoon coffee and
refreshment breaks on all three conference days; and lunch on two
conference days. Contact the registration chair, Prof. Cynthia Beath
(UCLA: 213-825-4817 or IYG0CMB@oac.ucla.edu), if you need additional
information.
The conference is located at the Biltmore Hotel, in downtown Los Angeles.
(213-624-1011). Single rooms are $105 per night, double rooms are $115,
and triples, $145. Once you are there, there's a free shuttle bus that
covers the main downtown area. But getting to the hotel from the airport
involves either a fairly expensive taxi fare ($25+) or else a minivan
(about $15). Additional hotel information is available from the arrangements
chair, Prof. M. Lynne Markus (UCLA: 213-825-8494 or ILD8MLM@oac.ucla.edu).
In addition to the program information below, the following events are
scheduled:
- Sunday October 7, 7:00pm-10:00pm, Informal Reception at the
Biltmore.
- Monday October 8, 6:00pm-10:00pm, Reception at the ``Temporary
Contemporary'' Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA).
- Tuesday October 9, 5:45pm-7:00pm Open Business Meeting: Planning
for CSCW '92.
- Tuesday October 9, 7:00pm-10:00pm DEMO NIGHT
