Media Registration Information
Media representatives interested in attending and covering SC2002 should contact Nick Veronico, SC2002 Media Room Coordinator, at media@sc-conference.org with questions about media registration. The advance registration deadline for all SC2002 attendees--including media-- is October 25, 2002. After October 25, you will need to register onsite. Media representatives should come to the media room (room 333) at the Baltimore Convention Center to register, rather than the general registration area. The regular conference registration fee is waived for media representatives with proper credentials.
