5189.0. "Corporate Conference Person/Group?" by SUBSYS::MCCULLER () Mon Mar 17 1997 10:12

    We are looking for the person or organization within Digital who
    serves as the main contact for things like registering for outside
    technical conferences. Someone who could answer questions such as
    "Does Digital get a corporate discount for trade show/conference
    XYZ?" 
    
    Does such a person or organization exist within Digital at the 
    Corporate or business (i.e. SBU) level?
    
    Comments appreciated.

5189.1Conference/Event Sources & ContactsSALES::CARRSam Carr DTN 244-7224 AKO2-2/D05Mon Mar 17 1997 11:5422
    To my knowledge there is no single point of contact. Part of the
    solution is to look on the Events Calendar on webir.das.dec.com and
    call the event contact. Many specific events can also be found by searching
    for their name on  Alta Vista. www.techweb.com and www.tscentral.com
    are also useful sources of information. And sites like www.comdex.com
    cover all the worldwide COMDEX events.
    
    This would cover most of the activities that Digital participates in
    to market its products, but would omit areas like standards
    organizations where Digital's membership may provide some discounts
    on other activities they sponsor. IEEE is a possible example here,
    and VTX SMC (Standards & Methods Control) is a possible source of
    information.
    
    If Digital is participating to market its products, its likely that
    exhibit registration would be free to Digital employees but
    registration for the conference at that same event would be at the
    regular price. For example, our participation in SUPERCOMPUTING as
    an exhibitor provides us with free exhibitor registrations and ONE
    free conference registration.
