CONFERENCE REGISTRATION
**********************************************************
PLEASE REGISTER WITH THE HOTEL BEFORE REGISTERING FOR THE CONFERENCE.
You can register for either PODC, SPAA, or both conferences, at the following
web page: http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~gil/podcspaa/registration.html. All
registrants for either conference can attend any sessions of either conference.
The only difference between registering for SPAA, PODC, or both is which
conference proceedings you will receive. (Extra copies of proceedings can
also be ordered through this web page.)
Conference registration includes one or both proceedings, and the banquet on
Tuesday evening (except student registration). Coffee breaks, lunches,
and business meetings are funded through hotel registrations (see below).
This year, due to early hotel deadlines, we will have three categories of
registration: early, normal, and late. The deadline for early registration
is April 20, 1998, and the deadline for normal registration is June 1, 1998.
Registration fees are given below; for more details, see the registration web
page.
Early Regular Late
(by 4/20) (by 6/1) (after 6/1)
ACM Member (one proceedings): $125 $225 $275
ACM Member (both proceedings): $150 $250 $300
Non-ACM Member (one proceedings): $175 $275 $325
Non-ACM Member (both proceedings): $200 $300 $350
Student (one proceedings): $ 25 $ 50 $ 75
Student (both proceedings): $ 50 $ 75 $100
**********************************************************
HOTEL REGISTRATION
**********************************************************
In addition to registering for PODC/SPAA, all conference registrants must
be registered with the conference hotel, the Marriott CasaMagna (even if you
are staying elsewhere). This is because the hotel's services to the
conference (meeting rooms, coffee breaks, etc.) are paid for through hotel
registration rather than conference registration (hence the low conference
registration fees). Please register with the hotel before registering for
the conference.
Participants must provide the group name "PODC-SPAA CONGRESS" and dates
in order to get the group rates below. These rates include all taxes,
gratuities, and tips. IMPORTANT: Be sure you register using the
all-inclusive room rates listed below, as these are the rates that properly
credit the conference.
Hotel rates are the following:
Single Room per night: $116.00 USD
Double Room per night: $125.00 USD (only one person attending the conference)
Double Room per night: $148.00 USD (both attending the conference)
Triple Room per night: $183.00 USD (all three attending the conference)
Staying elsewhere: $140.00 USD (for the entire conference)
These are all-inclusive rates and are thus very competitive.
A rate of $99.45 USD single or double occupancy (taxes but no meals
included), no meals included will be honored three days prior/post the
event based on availability.
Reservations should be made directly with Marriott.
Toll-free numbers are the following:
USA and Canada: (800) 223 6388
Mexico: (800) 326-5000
France: 0800 90 8333
Germany: 0130 854422
Greece: 00800 441 27686
Israel: 177 440 8662
Mexico: 91 800 90 088
Spain: 900 99 4422
Switzerland: 0800 55 0122
Taiwan, Taipei: 886 2 567 3081 (not toll-free)
See http://www.marriott.com/reservations/ for other numbers.
Alternatively, reservations may be made directly with the reservation
department of the hotel in Puerto Vallarta:
phone +52-322-10004
fax +52-322-10376
Participants must provide the group name "PODC-SPAA CONGRESS" and dates
in order to get the group rates.
Reservations must be guaranteed with a credit card: American Express,
Diner's Club, Mastercard, or Visa. (Cancellations with less than 14 days
notice will be charged for $170 plus tax.)
Additional registration notes:
1. While it is necessary to register by 4/20 to get the early
registration rates, payment does not have to be received by 4/20. It
should be received relatively promptly thereafter (people with specific
problems can contact Eric Schwabe at sch...@ece.nwu.edu).
2. If one can guarantee the hotel reservation with a credit card, the
hotel will not make any charges before arrival. People who arrange
alternative payment after making the reservation (e.g., by getting a
check from their university) will not have their credit cards charged
at all.
3. If one cannot guarantee the reservation with a credit card, the
hotel will accept payment in full within 14 days of making a
reservation (see http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~gil/podcspaa98/hotel.html for
details). Those for whom this is a problem should contact Gil Neiger
at g...@cse.ogi.edu rather than delaying their conference registration.

LOCAL INFORMATION
**********************************************************
TRANSPORTATION:
To get from the airport to the Marriott CasaMagna there are at least
two options.
(1) TEA company can be reached through Marriott office
in airport, US$5.00 per person. This can be charged to your hotel
room or payed in the airport.
(2) Airport Taxis. US$8.00 per taxi for upto 4 persons.
To get from Marriott CasaMagna to airport: US$2.50 per taxi for upto 4
people.
ACTIVITIES:
Puerto Vallarta is an outstanding departure point for deep-sea fishing
expeditions and all types of sailing vessels are available for rent at
the Marina just adjacent to the hotel. Snorkeling, scuba diving, waterskiing
are also popular watersports. Excursions to other beaches, towns and
off the track adventures are also available.
The 18 hole Golf Course, just across the street from the hotel, is
a very challenging course. The hotel has three lighted, synthetic grass
tennis courts.
A wide variety of jewelry stores, art galleries, leather goods shops,
craft shops and boutiques line the cobblestone streets of downtown
Puerto Vallarta. The municipal market bulges with local crafts and
there are various shopping centers throughout the city featuring
clothing and leather goods.
>From the spicy blend of Mexican fare to elegant five-star dining,
Puerto Vallarta has it all and at reasonable prices. Fresh fish is in
abundance at the restaurants on the bay as well as those perched on a hilltop
overlooking the bay. You will find great food in Puerto Vallarta!
Puerto Vallarta has a little of everything for fun after dark.
Start the evening on a sunset cruise, and then disco the night away
at Christine's, featuring a laser light show. Live rock music
is featured at the Hard Rock Cafe. Near the Marina district there are discos,
karaoke bars and a bowling alley.
TIPPING:
Tipping is common in Mexico. Waiters get between 10% and 15% gratuity if
no service charge has already been added. Check your bill to
see if if service has been included. Taxi drivers, and any other
person serving you (help with your bags, help in gas station, etc)
gets some tip.
ABOUT THE HOTEL:
Marriot CasaMagna (magnificent home) welcomes you with true Puerto Vallarta
warmth and hospitality. It is situated directly on the Banderas Bay beach
in the fashionable Marina district.
Beautiful foliage, a magnificent pool and outdoor restaurant and bar
are there for you to relax and enjoy the tropical outdoors. The
deluxe rooms are equipped with hair dryers and plush ter cloth robes.
The mini-bar is stocked with beverages and snacks, including bottled
water. The hotel does have a double water purification system, operated
by the "Culligan" man, making water and icecubes safe. The voltage
is standard 2 prong (as in the USA). There is a full service health club
with universal gym equipment and a variety of services available
by appointment.
The hotel offers babysitter services and children activities and care.
Please check with the hotel for rates.
CURRENCY EXCHANGE:
You can change US Dollars for Mexican pesos
at the Marriott CasaMagna. Most establishments in Puerto Vallarta
will accept US Dollars for purchases. There are also several banks
in town.
CALLING HOME:
Hotels have a service charge for long distance calls,
so please check with the hotel operator
for rates. Please note that long distance calls are expensive,
and it can be much more cost-effective for people to call you from abroad
than for you to call them.
CLIMATE:
Puerto Vallarta is located in the middle of Mexico's Pacific
Coast. It is sunny and warm this time of year. Temperatures during
June and July average a high of 92 deg and a low of 70 deg F.
There can be occasional showers; if so, they come and go quickly,
in the afternoon.
GETTING AROUND:
Downtown Puerto Vallarta is a ten minute ride from
the Marriott. Taxis are plentiful and inexpensive, costing
about US$3-US$5 for the ride. Taxi drivers will generally
accept USD in payment for a fare, but sometimes their exchange
rate is lower than the rates offered by banks and and hotels.
