                Update and Second Call for Participation

VL'2000 is the premier international conference on visual and multimedia languages for creating/understanding software. We hope you will plan to join us at this year's conference, which includes keynote talks by Brad Myers and Tony DeRose, an interactive session on Multimedia Software Engineering by S.-K. Chang, tutorials, satellite workshops, and more.

This is a reminder of the approaching deadlines for discounted rates, as well as an update on the venue and social program.

Venue update:

      The name of the conference hotel has been changed from the
      Edmond Meany Hotel to the University Tower Hotel.  However,
      it is still the same hotel, and has the same phone number,
      fax number, etc.

Banquet update:
      The conference banquet will be held at Odyssey: The Maritime
      Discovery Center overlooking Elliott Bay on Seattle's
      waterfront.  The Odyssey is an interactive venue illuminating
      contemporary trade, fishing and marine environmental issues.
      Our conference attendees will have exclusive use of its main
      galleries. Through lively, hands-on, interactive demonstrations,
      people can discover the latest in commercial fishing technology,
      the basics of nautical operations, and the nuts and bolts of a
      working waterfront.

Post-conference outing to Mount Rainier:
      We are planning a group trip to Paradise on Mount Rainier on
      Friday, September 15, with luxury coach departure from the
      conference hotel at 8:00 AM and return scheduled for about 8:00
      PM.  In addition to time for hiking, glacier viewing or strolls
      through meadows of wildflowers, plans include lunch at the
      Paradise Inn, which is on the National Register of Historic
      Places.
