Dear colleagues
Do you intend to set up a 'room mate finder' service as in 2003? It was a great idea and I am certain that it would help AoIR to meet the minimum occupancy in the Marriot this time.
Thanks

I write to remind you that online registration is now open for the
sixth annual conference of the Association of Internet Researchers to
be held in Chicago October 6 - 9, 2005 (with pre-conference workshops
held on October 5, 2005) at the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent
Mile hotel.
To register for the conference and workshops go to:
https://www.conted.vt.edu/ssl/aoir/index.lasso
You will be able to pay the registration fees by credit card or by
check.
You can also at this time register for the conference banquet (taking
place on Friday, October 7, at the Mid-America Club, on the 80th (top)
floor of the Aon Center, Chicago's second tallest building, and the
conference brunch (taking place on Sunday, October 9). [Vegetarian
options will be available at both meals.]
You may also register for a historical tour of Chicago's "L" elevated
train (taking place on Saturday morning, October 8). Join others in an
AoIR-only L car for a tour of some of the L system's oldest routes with
the Chicago Transit Authority's historian.
A link to online hotel registration is provided on the site after you
have clicked the "submit" button and sent in your registration. We have
negotiated the best possible rate from the hotel and encourage you to
book a room early. As is the case with most all hotel-based conferences
we have to meet the minimum occupancy with which we are able to use the
hotel's meeting rooms and if we do not meet that occupancy rate then
we'll have to increase the registration fees, to cover the additional
meeting room cost. The direct link is:

groupCode=airaira&app=resvlink
By using that url you should receive the AoIR group rate of $155 USD
per night for accommodations during the conference.
I am also delighted to be able to announce our keynote speakers for
this year's conference and to share information about their
presentations.
Sonia Livingstone, Professor of Social Psychology and a member of the
Department of Media and Communications at the London School of
Economics will give a speech titled "Youthful experts? A critical
appraisal of children and young peoples' emerging internet literacy."
Saskia Sassen, Ralph Lewis Professor of Sociology at the University of
Chicago, and Centennial Visiting Professor at the London School of
Economics, is another keynote speaker. Her speech is titled "Digital
formations: The intersection of technical and social logics in
electronic space." And our third keynote speaker is Ang, Peng Hwa,
Professor of Media Management and Law at the Nanyang Technological
University, Singapore, who will give a speech titled "The UN and
Internet Governance: Fears, Hopes and Possibilities."
I appreciate everyone's support of the conference and of AoIR and look
forward to seeing you in Chicago in October!
