Media
representatives interested in attending and covering
SC2002 should contact Nick Veronico, SC2002 Media
Room Coordinator, at media@sc-conference.org
with questions about media registration. The advance
registration deadline for all SC2002 attendees--including
media-- is October 25, 2002. After October
25, you will need to register onsite. Media representatives
should come to the media room (room 333) at the Baltimore
Convention Center to register, rather than the general
registration area. The regular conference registration
fee is waived for media representatives with proper
credentials.
