This fee is waived for current SID members whose membership is paid through May 2005 or later. Payment of the fee automatically enrolls the registrant as a SID member for a 12-month period. Please remember that the membership fee paid at the 2004 Symposium in Seattle will have lapsed by the date of the 2005 Symposium in Boston. Membership fees are non refundable.

SUNDAY SHORT COURSES - These four-hour classes covering the fundamentals of information displays are held on Sunday afternoon and evening. S1 and S2 are held in parallel in the morning (9:00 AM - 1:00 PM). S3 and S4 are held in parallel in the afternoon (3:00 PM - 7:00 PM).

This provides executives, entrepreneurs, program managers, marketers, investment professionals and other professionals in all aspects of the rapidly growing electronic-display industry with an unparalleled comprehensive view of all aspects of the industry, from technology tradeoffs, to market and business dynamics, to equity capital issues. Note that the Business Conference alone or the full SID Business Enterprise can be combined with the Symposium at special combination rates. There are no student or Life Member rates for the SID Business Enterprise. All fees include appropriate publications.

Each paper has been subject to a peer review before being included in its designated technology session. The fee for the symposium is $375 ($35 for full-time Students or Life Members). A copy of the Symposium Digest and a CD-ROM is included in the fee.

DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY SEMINARS - These seminars on diverse topics, related to the information display field, are held on Monday. There are twelve seminars scheduled for Monday (M1 - M12). There is no single seminar registration. Registering for the Display Technology Seminars entitles you to attend any combination of seminars.
