Open Letter to Exhibitors |
| The United States Association of Computational Mechanics (USACM) will hold their 5th
National Congress August 4-6, 1999 on the campus of the University of Colorado at Boulder. As a member of the USACM Executive Committee and the 5th National Congress Organizing Committee, I am soliciting organizations that might be interested in participating in our Exhibitors Program. Based on the attendance at the four previous USACM National Congresses (1991 Chicago, 1993 Washington DC, 1995 Dallas, 1997 San Francisco) we expect about 500 participants at this year's conference; 460 attended the 1997 San Francisco Congress. Up-to-date information on the conference is available at our web site: http://civil.colorado.edu/usnccm99/ Our membership and participants in the Congress are drawn from both industry and academia with an approximate split of 20% from industry and 80% from academia. All of the participants are interested in computational mechanics with the majority working or researching in solid mechanics. We are actively expanding our membership in the areas of biomechanics, computational fluid mechanics, and acoustics. We believe our Congress participants will be interested in viewing and discussing publications, hardware, software, and other materials, including educational, related to computational mechanics in our Exhibit Area. As a relatively new organization, we have not focused on our Exhibitors Program at past Congresses, focusing instead on providing a quality Congress that our members and participants will find useful and continue to attend every two years. However, starting with our 4th National Congress in San Francisco we want to develop and establish a long term relation with Exhibitors that provide products and services of interest to our members and participants. To continue this program of establishing an Exhibitor base we intend to offer Exhibitors the following:
If you are interested in Exhibiting at the 5th USACM National Congress, please contact me: Len Schwer, Ph.D. Our goal is to attract Exhibitors that will add interest and value to the Congress experience for our participants. We intend to charge Exhibitors only the additional costs assigned by the University to the Exhibit Area, as outlined below. We have space for 35 Exhibitors and intend to allocate space on a first-come-first-served basis. The basic Exhibitor cost will be $350 for which the University will provide a 10 x 10 foot space that includes a standard table (30 x 72 inch) and two chairs for each Exhibitor. Standard electrical power outlets will be located nearby. Access to the Internet can be provided for an addition fee. We will attempt to provide for other special requests on a case-by-case basis. As a further service to our Exhibitors, we are willing to accommodate unstaffed exhibits. This worked quite well for one exhibitor at the 4th Congress and maybe of particular interest to publishers whose product is self explanatory. Exhibitors who wish to take advantage of an unstaffed exhibit will need to have their exhibit shipped to the University and pay for return shipment, or agree to have their product donated to the University. There is also the possibility of holding a raffle of Exhibitor’s products at the Thursday night Congress Banquet. For your planning purposes we are proposing the following schedule for Exhibitors:
Changes to this proposed schedule are possible but we would need as much advanced notice as possible. |
