Dear Colleagues: Please take a moment to read this short message, in which I'd like to draw your attention to two upcoming important conferences you won't want to miss. o ACM MULTIMEDIA'97 will take place November 9-13 in Seattle. The 40 technical papers in the truly outstanding program cover all aspects of multimedia technology and systems, so no matter what your specialty you'll surely find much of interest here! Two great keynote talks by Brad Myers of CMU and Ben Shneiderman of the University of Maryland, and a reception at the Seattle Space Needle, will be highlights of the conference. And yes, YOU -CAN- AFFORD TO COME, even at this late date, because we've arranged incredibly cheap coast-to-coast zone fares with USAir which -DO NOT- require a Saturday night stay or way-in-advance purchase. For full details, check out the superb conference web site: http://www.acm.org/sigmm/MM97 If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me personally as General Co-Chair. o ASSETS'98, the 3rd ACM/SIGCAPH Conference on Assistive Technologies, will take place April 15-17, 1998 at the Marina del Rey Hotel in Los Angeles (back-to-back with CHI'98). This is the premier international forum where researchers and developers from academia and industry meet to exchange ideas and report on new developments relating to computer-based systems to help people. The conference scope spans disabilities and special needs of ALL types; there are no parallel sessions, in order to encourage total group participation throughout the meeting (even meals are taken together). THERE IS STILL TIME TO SUBMIT a paper or to volunteer to participate in other ways - the deadline is November 14, 1997. For complete details, please see the conference web site: http://www.acm.org/sigcaph/assets Or contact one of the lead organizers: General Chair: Arthur I. Karshmer (e-mail: arthur@cs.nmsu.edu) Program Chair: Meera M. Blattner (e-mail: blattner@llnl.gov) I hope to see you at one or both of these great events. Thank you! -Ephraim
