Now is the time to decide about participating in SESUG '93 as a speaker
or poster presenter or session coordinator
          ABSTRACTS             due by November 1st
          CAMERA READY PAPERS   due by December 1st

The first annual SouthEastern SAS Users Group Conference will be held
at the TradeWinds in St. Petersburg, Florida on Feb 14-16, 1993.
REGISTRATION packets have already been sent out by SI and some people
have already received their copy. In addition, Tamara Fischell (SESUG
93 conference co-chair) posted a three-part message on SAS-L with an
electronic version of the SESUG Registration packet.

Contact me (Elizabeth Hamilton) or Carolyn Williams about doing a
poster at SESUG '93.

There is still time to contact us ...to be a poster presenter
We need your name, address, phone number, Fax number, e-mail address,
and preferred topic as soon as possible.

Right now 75% of the posters are from NC and the remainder from VA.
Therefore, I am particularly interested in hearing from SAS users
in other states (Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina,
Puerto Rico, Mississippi, Kentucky, Maryland, etc.)

If you have not attended a SUGI or NESUG, you may not understand what
the posters section is all about. Instead of standing up in front of
a room full of folks to discuss your paper, you are assigned a
section of a free-standing bulletin board to display your topic.
Everyone gets two sections (the larger is approximately 4 feet by
4 feet and the smaller is 2 feet wide and 4 feet tall). Instead of
push-pins or thumb tacks, you will use Velcro dots (we will provide)
to attach your presentation to the display boards. The boards are
covered with a beautiful royal blue fabric.

The poster presenters (or authors) get their papers published in
the SESUG conference proceedings just like all the other presenters.
Papers are limited to 6 pages in length and follow the same quidelines
as SUGI papers.

The posters will be located in a convenient area for the SESUG
attendees to view at their leisure on both Monday and Tuesday am.
At specific times during the conference, the poster presenters will
come to the poster area to talk to attendees about their poster and
answer questions. Therefore, your presentation is face-to-face with
the person or group of people most interested in your ideas.

You decide on the best layout to effectively and attractively present
your ideas. Use of color, graphs, diagrams, etc. are encouraged but
not mandatory.

WHO should volunteer to present posters at SESUG '93?
  - Those whose topic is better suited for a display instead of a talk
  - Those whose topic does not fit conveniently in the other SESUG
    sections (Statistics, Applications Development/Infomation Systems,
    Performance & Tuning/Host Systems, Training & User Support, or
    Tutorials)
  - Those who are not comfortable doing a presentation in front of
    a room full of faces

WHO should volunteer to be a session coordinator for posters?
  - Those who will be attending SESUG '93 and enjoy working putting
    things together. The biggest job for these coordinators will be
          setting up the poster stands on Sunday afternoon
      and/or taking them down on Tuesday afternoon.
    Since we need the help before the opening session or after the
    closing, you can help out with posters, get a ribbon to wear on
    your name tag, be invited to special parties for SESUG helpers,
    and not miss any of the sessions.
