Full paid Conference Registration includes one copy each of the Digest of Technical Papers, the Slide Supplement (mailed in March), the CD-ROM (mailed in June) and one hotel coupon. All students must present their student ID at the registration desk to receive the $75 student rate. Student registration does not include the Slide Supplement or hotel coupon. Additional copies of Conference publications can be purchased onsite at the registration desks. Post-conference prices for publications will be higher due to postage and handling costs; availability may also be limited following the conference.

HOTEL RESERVATIONS

Conference participants are responsible for making their own hotel reservation and for paying for all bills upon checkout.

It is vital that hotel reservations reach the Marriott by January 15, 1999. After January 15, if rooms are available, they may not be at conference rates. When contacting the San Francisco Marriott, be sure to tell them that you are with "ISSCC" to obtain conference rates. You must include your fax number on your hotel reservation form if you want a confirmation returned by fax.
Special conference rates will also be available on a limited basis prior to and following the Conference. Room reservations should be made as soon as possible. The hotel offers both non-smoking and handicap-accessible rooms.

CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS

In 1999 ISSCC offers a Short Course, "Fast Local Area Networks." The course will be held at the San Francisco Marriott Hotel on February 18, the day after the closing of ISSCC99. Short Courses will be filled on a first-come-first-served basis. Please mark your choice on the registration form. You will be notified of your time slot prior to the Conference. Further information can be found on pages 60 and 61 of this booklet.

In 1999, ISSCC again offers a choice of up to 3 of a total of 6 tutorials on February 14, the day before the official opening of the Conference. The objective of these tutorials is to introduce you to the specialized circuit areas that are the focus of ISSCC99. 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 prior to the Conference. Further information can be found on pages 62 and 63 of this booklet.

On Monday, February 15, there will be a Social Hour for all registrants from 5:00PM to 6:30PM 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 the 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. 14-17, 1999. 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 and cannot be redeemed at all after Thursday, February 18. 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 15, 1999 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 4.
