SOFTBANK Expos is seeking student volunteers to serve as quality
control monitors the for NetWorld+Interop conference which takes place
in Atlanta, September 16-20, 1996. This is a unique opportunity for
students to attend the industry's premier networking conference and
tradeshow, while helping us improve the quality and consistency of the
conference.
 
As a CAT member you will receive:
 
* Complimentary registration to one of the 2-day tutorials on
Monday/Tuesday
(you may be assigned to monitor a tutorial other than your first
choice).
 
* Complimentary conference registration for the general conference
days
 
* Complimentary conference notes
 
As a CAT member you will be asked to:
 
* Monitor pre-assigned tutorials and conference sessions by submitting
  written  reports and acting as the "eyes and ears" of the conference
  organizers. We will provide you with a basic evaluation form to aid
  the preparation of the reports.
 
(You will be free to attend any conference session and the Interop
DotCom and NetWorld+Interop exhibition when you are not assigned CAT
duty, but you will be strongly encouraged to complete evaluation forms
for any session you attend.)
 
* Provide an accurate count of the number of people attending the
  sessions you are assigned to. ("Clickers" will be provided!)
 
Successful CAT candidates will be students currently enrolled in a
computer science or electrical engineering course at undergraduate,
graduate or post-graduate level.  Applicants should have some
understanding of (and interest in) computer networking issues, and
MUST have e-mail. All applications should be received by August 15,
1996, but note that this program is popular, and operates on a
first-come-first-served basis.
 
Previous CAT members are encouraged to apply again!
 
Please note that SOFTBANK Expos cannot cover any travel or
accommodation costs associated with the CAT program, however as a CAT
member you will be eligible for the standard conference discount rate
