             USENIX WINTER 1994 TECHNICAL CONFERENCE

                    January 17-21, 1994
                    San Francisco Hilton
                 San Francisco, California

URGENT NOTICE: SAN FRANCISCO HILTON HOTEL DISCOUNT STILL OFFERED 
********************************************************************

For those of you who plan to attend our Winter Technical Conference in 
San Francisco, Jan 17-21, and have not yet made your hotel arrangements,
please call the headquarters hotel, SF Hilton (see below) immediately.  
They are still guaranteeing the USENIX room rate.

We are still seriously below our estimated number of sleeping rooms that
we guarantee the hotel in our contract, and are being threatened with 
enforcement of penalty clauses if the room guarantee is unmet.

USENIX conferences place a heavy demand on hotel meeting space. During
a typical week-long conference, we need many rooms to offer the 15-20 
tutorials, as well as having parallel tracks for several days (some of 
which have over 1,000 attendees).  The cost of renting this space in a 
city like San Francisco is astronomical.  What USENIX does is make an 
agreement with a hotel that, in exchange for a guaranteed minimum 
number of rooms rented by attendees, the hotel will throw in meeting 
space and other services at no direct cost to USENIX.  This agreement 
is complicated and, because the number of facilities in the U.S. where 
we can hold a meeting is rather limited, we typically sign these 
contracts five years in advance of a conference.  These contracts
contain penalty clauses (often in the $50,000-$100,000 range) if we 
fail to fulfill our commitment to the hotel.  The hotel industry is 
fairly close knit, and word gets out quickly about groups that can't 
live up to their contracts.  Such groups may have trouble getting 
space, or may have to pay a higher rate.

Therefore, we ask that you make your room reservation at the SF Hilton 
soon, and state that you are attending the USENIX Conference.  That way
we make our commitment and you will be assured of getting the discounted
USENIX-rate below.

We also encourage roomsharing (comp.org.usenix.roomshare can be used for
this purpose).
