[Siged-l] Programs at Annual 2003

[Jody Condit Fagan]

Dear SIG/ED'ers,

You may already know about the following if you have received your 
Preliminary Program, but just in case, I have summarized the SIG/ED 
sponsored programs below in brief.  As you will see, Wednesday is SIG/ED 
day!  No sleeping in that day!  I know there are so many good programs it 
is hard to get to them all, but I hope you will be able to come to some of 
the below.  For the program descriptions, see 
http://www.asis.org/Conferences/AM02/schedule.html

FYI some of the speakers have changed a bit from the preliminary program - 
below are the most current speaker names.

Also, I am setting up a time for our SIG/ED planning meeting, but I haven't 
confirmed it yet.  Will be in touch.
