CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS

In 1998 ISSCC offers a Short Course, "xDSL Broadband Interactive Communications." The course will be held at the San Francisco Marriott Hotel on Tuesday Feb. 3, two days before the official opening of ISSCC98. Short Courses will be filled on a first-come-first-served basis. Please mark your choice. You will be notified of your time slot in January. Further information can be found on pages 62 and 63 of this booklet. In 1998, ISSCC again offers a choice of up to 3 of a total of 6 tutorials on Wednesday, Feb. 4, the day before the official opening of the Conference. The objective of these tutorials is introduction to the specialized circuit areas that are the focus of ISSCC98. A maximum of 3 tutorials can be attended. Please indicate your choices on the registration form including the start time that you prefer and whether or not you want reassignment in case some of your time choices are filled. You will receive a confirmation of your assignment in late January. Further information can be found on pages 64 and 65 of this booklet. On Thursday, there will be a Social Hour for all registrants from 5:00PM to 6:00PM in the Golden Gate Hall (on the level above the Ballroom). Author Interviews for that day will be part of the Social Hour

HOTEL COUPON

Each participant paying member or non-member Conference registration fee (this excludes students, speakers and members of the press) will be given a coupon worth a credit of $100 toward a stay of two or more nights at the San Francisco Marriott during the period of Feb. 3-7, 1998. This coupon will be given to individual registrants with their registration packet. Use of the coupon is limited to rooms available at the SF Marriott only. The coupon may be redeemed at the Hotel Front Desk at any time after you have stayed two or more nights. The coupon is NOT redeemable in cash, nor can it be used at any other hotel. The coupon is valid toward the cost of your room only, not incidentals. If two or more attendees share a room, only one coupon can be honored for that room. The combination of the lower rate plus the coupon will result in substantial savings to you. However you MUST make your reservations well before January 6, 1998 to obtain the special Conference rates or a room at all. Please help yourself and the Conference by booking your room early.

TRANSPORTATION

Those who drive automobiles to the Conference will find public parking lots near the Marriott at locations shown on the map on page 2.
