DSN Tutorials:

Tutorials will be given on the first day of the conference: June 24th. The main conference program is on June 25-27. Tutorials are available only to attendees who have registered for them and paid an additional tutorial registration fee. Tutorial attendees will receive printed notes and a mid-tutorial break. Lunch is on your own (there are many restaurants within a one block walk of the conference hotel).

Printable Tutorial brochure -- contains descriptions of all tutorials (.pdf file).

Note: Student tutorial price reduced to $25 student IEEE member; $30 non-member if booked by 1 June 2008. When booking, please put "ST TUTORIAL $25" or "ST TUTORIAL $30" as appropriate in the comments section of the registration form to receive the reduced rate (the rates shown on the form will be the unreduced rate -- think of this as a coupon code if you like). This price is per tutorial, so it is $50 or $60 total if you sign up for both AM and PM tutorials. This is our break-even cost of handouts, facilities, and break refreshments. If you have already registered for DSN, please do an "update" to add the tutorial.
