Dear USENIX members, SAGE members and past conference attendees:
We thought you'd be interested in the following news and information from USENIX.
----------------------------------------------------------
11th USENIX SECURITY SYMPOSIUM - LOWER HOTEL RATES NOW AVAILABLE!
The San Francisco Marriott is now offering lower hotel rates than previously publicized for attendees to the 11th Security Symposium being held August 5-9 and the Java VM Symposium being held August 1-2. Both prospective and registered attendees will receive the new $159 rate. In order to offer this rate, we must guarantee that a certain number of sleeping rooms will be used during the conference. And, if those guarantees are not met, we will be assessed penalties which are often quite high. Therefore, we encourage attendees to book at the headquarters hotel. http://www.usenix.org/events/sec02/registration/
