[amsat-bb] Symposium Registration Now Online

[Emily Clarke <emily@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Online registration and hotel reservation for the 2006 AMSAT Space 
Symposium has been posted to the AMSAT website, and information about 
the Symposium has been expanded.  The 2006 AMSAT Space Symposium will 
be held October 6, 7 and 8 at the Crowne Plaza in Foster City 
California in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area.

Please visit http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/symposium for additional 
information and an index to the expanded Symposium web pages.

The expanded information includes:
- Online Registration for the Symposium including banquet menu and 
tour selections
- Online Hotel Reservations at the AMSAT Discounted Symposium Rate
- Information about the Sunday Trip to NASA Ames
- Information for Exhibitors and Vendors
- A Donated Prizes list of prizes that will be awarded during the Symposium
- Symposium Tour Information and Tour Signup
- Enhanced California Tourism information (with links!)
- Sporting events and shopping information
- A Ride Sharing system

For the first time AMSAT is matching up drivers and riders who may be 
driving to the Symposium.  Sharing a ride is a wonderful way to ease 
parking congestion and expenses, while sparing the air.  You can sign 
up as a local participant who is driving in each day, or as a long 
distance driver coming from Southern California and surrounding 
states.  Please visit the "Ride Sharing" link from the main Symposium 
page for additional information.

This year AMSAT will provide a limited amount of space for vendors 
and exhibitors.  Exhibitors and demonstrations will have space in a 
breakout room adjacent to the main Symposium room, and vendors will 
be located in the foyer outside the Symposium room.  Vendor space is 
limited, so space will be reserved for vendors donating prizes for 
the Symposium first.  Please see the "Exhibitors and Vendors" link 
from the main Symposium page.

In addition to online registration you can download the registration 
form in PDF format and mail it in.  Registration forms will also be 
included in the next edition of the AMSAT Journal and with AMSAT 
Board election ballots.

Welcome to the Bay Area!
