It is our great pleasure to invite you to join us November 9-13 in Seattle for the Fifth ACM International Multimedia Conference. This will be a unique opportunity for you to network with many of the industry's top researchers, educators, system implementors, content creators and artists from around the world as we come together to exchange ideas and report on new developments relating to all aspects of multimedia technology and systems. Let's explore together both the state-of-the-art and the future of multimedia technology and content in one of the world's most beautiful natural settings, the majestic Pacific Northwest.
A major focus of this year's conference will be issues relating to the human-computer interface. Provocative keynotes will be presented by two acknowledged experts: Ben Shneiderman of the University of Maryland's Department of Computer Science, and Brad A. Myers of Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science. The 40 technical papers to be presented will be augmented by two days of in-depth courses, panel sessions, and state-of-the-art demonstrations.
The conference reception will be held in a truly unique and spectacular setting. We will ride the Seattle Monorail to the Space Needle, an architecturally stunning tower just north of downtown originally built for the 1962 World's Fair and now a world-renowned landmark of the city. There, we will savor Northwest delicacies on the Skyline Level (about a quarter of the way up the tower) while we relax and mingle with old acquaintances and new colleagues. Throughout the evening, we will be free to ride the elevator up to the observation deck for a panoramic view of the city and its environs from a height of 520 feet. A truly memorable experience!
Attendees from the east coast should also note that this year we are pleased to be able to offer deeply discounted cross-country airfare on US Airways. Even if you cannot stay for the whole week, you can still afford to come, because a Saturday night stay is NOT required in order to qualify for these low rates!
We look forward to seeing -you- at ACM MULTIMEDIA'97!
