The World Technology Summit venue, the Fairmont Hotel (where the UN charter
was signed in 1945) is a wonderfully conducive environment for encouraging
serendipity, and the WTN has arranged very special rates with the Fairmont
for the delegates to stay there.  And, the WTN is also charging a
significantly discounted (over 50%) rate for member-recommended delegates if
you register before May 23rd. The registration rate is $950 (it is $1450
after that date).


Please contact Trish Hargrave (thargrave () wtn net) at the World Technology
Network directly if you have any questions or to RSVP. Otherwise, go
directly to the registration website.
