---------- apologies for cross posting ------------ The Museum Computer Network and CIMI Consortium wish to express our sympathy to everyone who has been affected by recent world events. We are also very proud of the ways in which our members both understand the role of the arts community in promoting cross-cultural knowledge, tolerance and understanding and work to achieve this goal. We would also like to thank our members and friends who have so steadfastly encouraged and supported our decision to proceed with MCN/CIMI 2001: Real Life: Virtual Experiences - New Connections for Museum Visitors on October 24-27. The early registration fee ($350 member; $400 non-member) is being extended through the final day of the conference. In addition, the hotel has agreed to honor our special rate through tomorrow - October 12. Call +1-877-626-3800 to register immediately. Or, fax the on-line form to the MCN office +1 (949) 376-3456. Take advantage of the savings and join us in Cincinnati for what promises to be a terrific program. We look forward to seeing you there.
