For more information and up to the minute news, be sure to visit the meeting website at: http://www.apnic.net/meetings EARLY-BIRD REGISTRATION ENDS SOON!!! Although the meeting is now only 6 weeks away, we have still not received many registrations. We know that many of you are intending to attend the meeting, but have been too busy to register. Please note that the discounted early-bird registration fee is available only until 15 September (only 2 days from now!!!). After that time, registration will cost extra for APNIC members and non-members. Please also remember that due to current high demand for flights to and from Australia, you should be sure to make travel arrangements as soon as possible. MEETING SCHEDULE You will be glad to hear that preparations for the meeting are now well advanced, and the meeting schedule is close to final. At the end of this email, we have attached the latest programme overview, but please come to the meeting website for all the details. We are currently working with the Chairs of the Special Interest Group (SIG) sessions to finalise agendas and papers, which will also be published soon. OPENING RECEPTION AND SOCIAL EVENT Please remember that although the meeting runs from 25 to 27 October, the Opening Reception is in the evening of Tuesday 24 October. This will be an enjoyable social event with cultural entertainment featuring traditional Australian Aboriginal performers who will soon appear at the Sydney Olympics, and which will give everyone the chance to meet and mingle with other attendees. You will also want to know about the special Social Event of the meeting - an evening river cruise on the picturesque Brisbane River (cost USD$30 per person, including dinner). This will be held on Wednesday 25 October. OTHER ACTIVITIES As you may know, Brisbane is a modern city with many recreational activities, including golf and casinos as well as an unspoilt natural environment. It is also very close to the Gold Coast, and a short flight away from Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef, all popular international tourist destinations. If you allocate a few extra days for sightseeing while you are here, you will be sure to have a great time. I hope you can see that the meeting will be an interesting and enjoyable event for all. Please join us in Brisbane! Paul Wilson Director General. ================== APNIC Open Policy Meeting 25-27 October 2000, Brisbane, Australia.
