USE OF DECUS SYMPOSIUM VENUE BY OTHER USER GROUPS.
[The DECUS Symposium will run at Canberra's National Convention Centre from
20th to 25th August 1994 with the new DECUS "unified" exhibition open from
23rd August to the 25th.]


Since last year, DECUS has a policy of allowing meetings at the DECUS
Symposium by other user groups. These meetings are classified as "Birds Of a
Feather" or BOF meetings and unlike the symposium would be open to persons
not registered and not DECUS members.

As well, attendees at this BOF would be able to visit the new DECUS
exhibition.

There are however, a number of conditions.

Conditions.
Where a non-DECUS organization arranges at least one paper for presentation
at the DECUS symposium, that organization shall be entitled to apply for a
one hour meeting in the limited amount of room space available for non-DECUS 
meetings. The meeting may occur after, before or during normal Symposium
hours of 9.00am to 6.00pm. The attendees at that meeting may visit the
exhibition either before or after their meeting. [The exhibition will be
closed after 6.00pm.]

Members of the non-DECUS organization can not attend any DECUS sessions
(including the one they arranged) unless registered. [Registration varies
from $265 for a single day through $695 for a 4-day early to $875 for a full
late registration.]

It is expected, but not essential, that the DECUS Symposium speaker arranged
by the non-DECUS organization will also address their meeting.

All bookings must be made via the Timetable Co-ordinator; address all
requests prior to the symposium to the DECUS office.

Benefits to DECUS.
*    More attendees at the exhibition

     kit
