Full Screen Examples LESSON 15 - CONFERENCES - SYMPOSIA - FAIRS Text 1. An all-day conference will be held in the building C2 of The Institute of Manufacturing Technology on Wednesday, 11th November 2005. The arrangements for the Annual Conference have been made by the Organizing Committee, consisting of the representatives of the above mentioned institution. This meeting was very useful for the discussion and exchange of views, information and experience. Because the agenda of the meeting had been exhausted, the delegates began leaving the conference room. 2. This problem will be dealt with during the meeting of the Plenary Assembly. Please indicate with a cross the technical sessions at which you are intending to be present. The technical sessions will be devoted to recent developments in machining. This year’s conference is the biggest ever planned and will feature some four sessions providing an in-depth and comprehensive series of reports on the latest development in CAD/CAM. Each three-hour session will include a discussion. The symposium is open to anyone with an interest in computers. The symposium introduced by Mr. P. Vickers includes 11 papers and 25 poster presentations. 3. The conference participants will receive a set of preprints on payment of the registration fee. Chairmen of sessions are well-known scientists, who have a direct interest in the subject of the session. All the members of the Advisory Committee are likely to take part in the general meeting. The higher the level of the delegates the less time for the conference they have available. The sponsoring organisation has been invited to provide the conference opener. Speakers need time for preparing written papers. Transferable tickets enable the sending of deputies if necessary. The Organizing Committee is responsible for the registration of participants and the preparation of preprints and proceedings, which will be published later. 4. The first lecture will be delivered by Prof. Jacques Deblir. Preferably no more than four papers are presented every day. After the final discussion the Session Chairman declared the meeting closed. The National Conference will be held in September. Written papers are desirable for subsequent record purposes. Only briefly introduced papers allow sufficient time for discussion. A report containing the gist of the papers and discussions is invaluable for the participants for subsequent study. The scientist would like to take part in the symposium if he were invited. All who wish to participate in the conference must register, even though in some instances µ ¶ Contents Page 5 of 19 Go Back · ¸ ✕ LESSON 15 - Conferences - Symposia - Fairs Full Screen no charges are involved. 5. Applications for admission tickets should be sent to the Research and Development Institute. Tickets for the Awards Luncheon, a traditional opening event, are available at $10 each. The completed enclosed registration form should be returned no later than the 24th of March, 2005. The charged registration fee will cover the administrative expenses and the provision of morning coffee and afternoon tea. The registration, covering also the proceedings preprint, is payable at the registration desk. There is no charge to register your wife for the ladies programs. 6. Those registering for the technical sessions will be sent a name badge. They are requested to wear it at all times during the conference, except the luncheon. Name badges are useful in promoting mixing and free discussions. The full programme of the technical sessions is given overleaf. A tour of Prague’s famous Old Town will highlight the ladies program for Tuesday. The ladies have been cordially invited to attend the Awards Luncheon. The incoming President will deliver his Presidential Address on the morning of Monday, the 18th of February. 7. Extra copies of the preprint books may be purchased at the conference. Authors of the technical papers judged to be best will receive prizes at the awards luncheon. All the sessions will be held in the Congress Centre, where excellent facilities include equipment for simultaneous translation. Comfortable seats, ventilation and hall temperature are most important for a successful conference. Refreshment, particularly tea and coffee, is best served in or near the conference room. Time will be available for touring the interesting spots in Prague, shopping, and sightseeing. 8. Wide publicity for every fair and exhibition is necessary. When first exhibited at the trade fair, the apparatus attracted very little attention. Brno International Engineering Fair is worth seeing. An exhibition in the adjoining rooms, covering modern laboratory instruments, increases the attraction of the conference. Admission to the exhibit area is free. All exhibits will be located in the exhibit halls of the Fair house. The exhibits will be open on the following days. Listed alphabetically in the following columns are the names of all exhibitors and the products or services they will be introducing in their displays. Some 500 exposition booths will be used by exhibitors to show their products and services offered to the industry. µ ¶ Contents Page 6 of 19 Go Back · ¸ ✕ LESSON 15 - Conferences - Symposia - Fairs Full Screen Vocabulary notes: On sale - na prodej; feature - charakterizovat; advisory - poradní; sponsor - podporovat, mít záštitu; gist podstatné jádro; award - cena, udělit cenu; highlight - zvýraznit, vrcholit; tour - cestovat; publicity - propagace, reklama. 3.
