		The USCSCA 2003 conference will be held where Cuba holds all of its official international conferences, the Convention Center in Havana, where simultaneous translation can be given.
		As part of our official status as an international conference, our people need to stay in the adjoining Palco Hotel, (or another designated hotel) during the actual conference, and not with friends or in homes, etc. This makes logistics easier for Cuba to provide buses for special (or difficult to schedule) events.
		Thus we must be VERY professional in how we organize this conference -- which means each of you must be more proactive not only in bringing your own local delegation, but in helping facilitate the overall conference.
