by Education Services on Monday & Tuesday, any demos during presentations, and
for use during free time for informal demos etc. If you have hacks your proud
of, code you're going to submit to the library that you'd like to demoVideo
projector to be used during main sessions for Symbolics projection, and demo

"Informal Discussion" as noted above is the opportunity to informally chat with
other attendees, look at software and machine demos, or wander off early for a
meal at a reasonable pace. This additional free time to mingle was requested by
attendees to previous SLUG conferences.
All meals are "on own" and there are many local establishments nearby. Tuesday

conference reception after dinner.
The tuesday evening reception is sponsored by Symbolics and is for conference
attendees. Others should ask Symbolics (the host) for invitations.
