You can request a housing form early by calling +1-508-480-3302.

The CFP (Call for Participation) form is NOT required to volunteer to
present a session.  A letter to DECUS U.S. office providing all the
necessary information will do just fine.  It is also possible to have
your CFP entered into the scheduling system by any DECUS U.S. leader
that has access to DCS (Dedicated Communications System).  This
includes people like your local users group executive committee. Since
scheduling for Las Vegas is completed, the scheduling system for
Atlanta is already active and CFP's may be entered now.  The deadline
for CFP's submitted online is usually one week after the deadline for
hardcopy submissions.  Warning!  Because of the shorter than average
time between Las Vegas and Atlanta, CFP's must be submitted much
earlier than usual this fall.  I don't have my countdown calendar
handy, but it may actually be the week of the Las Vegas Symposium.
