October 12-15; many vendor suites open the evening of Oct 11.  Last general
meeting end before noon on Oct 15.

Meetings in two or three buildings along Peachtree Street, about 3 blocks from
the Hilton, which is the "headquarters" hotel.  Many delegates and vendors will
be staying in less expensive quarters, as the Hilton is $126/night at the
"special CUBE rate".  (All $ are US$.)  There are many less expensive hotels
within a couple of blocks: Comfort Inn ($79), Days Inn ($69), Holiday Inn
($55), Quality Inn Habersham ($89), Radisson ($89), Regency Suites ($69) (name
changed?), Residence Inn ($99), Travelodge Downtown ($62).  Rates are the
lowest single-person rates in a 2-year-old AAA book and, as the saying goes,
are subject to change.

The CUBE business office might be able to fax forms to you.  Call them and ask. 
(Or if you can't call the US for some reason, send me email.)  Conference
agenda is supposed to be available on SureNet (public access).  Only an 800
number is given, no international number.  I'll try to download the info and
post it.  I tried just now but my terminal emulator crashed %'(.

Continental Airlines offers discounted fares; reference EZ10BP53.  Liberty
Travel (in New Jersey) offers discounted fares.  I don't know whether the
discounts apply to international travel.

Probably the nicest way to get from the Atlanta airport to downtown is MARTA,
the new light rail system.  If your luggage is heavy, you will probably still
want a short taxi ride from the train station to your hotel.  Taxi from the
airport is about $15.

Registration, since it's too late to pre-register, is $300, no reservation
required, cash/check/Visa/Mastercard.  Show up and bring your money. 
Registration will be held at the Atlanta Market Center Inforum from 3-8 pm on
Oct 11 (Sunday) and starting at 7am on Oct 12.  Price includes three luncheons
and one banquet.

There will be a message center for incoming messages.

Write me if you have any more questions.
