Registration is now open for OOPSLA 2004, convening October 24 through
28 in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia.  OOPSLA is the premier
gathering of professionals from industry and academia---practitioners,
researchers, students, and educators---all sharing their experiences
with object technology and its offshoots.

OOPSLA offers an extraordinary array of venues and activities.
Presentations from invited speakers Rick Rashid, Steve McConnell,
Allan Vermeulen, Ward Cunningham, Herb Sutter, and Jaron Lanier
dovetail with those of technical papers, practitioner reports, expert
panels, demonstrations, formal and informal educational symposia,
workshops, and diverse tutorials from world-class lecturers.  The
popular Onward! track presents out-of-the-box thinking at the
frontiers of computing.  Poster sessions let you discuss late-breaking
results with the researchers themselves, culiminating in the Third
Annual SIGPLAN Student Research Competition.  DesignFest® provides
hands-on design experience in a expert-mentored environment.  And of
course there are plenty of social opportunities for mingling and
professional networking.

That's just a sampling of what makes OOPSLA the conference of choice
for software technologists---from recognized academics to
undergraduate students, from industrial researchers to developers and
managers, from the creators of technology to its users.

Make a splash in Vancouver, and get ahead in software technology!
