Reminders for Conference Attendees:

• Visa Application: For attendees who need a visa to enter China should request an official Letter of Invitation via the link "Visa Application" on the left pane of the conference website: http://ewh.ieee.org/conf/ius_2008/. This letter is necessary when you apply for a visa. The United States nationals and people from many countries need a visa to enter China. Please prepare your visa application documents early since more documents than normal may be required due to the Beijing Olympics. Please notice that the deadline for you to request the Letter of Invitation is: Tuesday, September 30, 2008.
• Hotel Reservation: Rooms of a group of hotels with discount rates have been blocked for attendees of the 2008 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium. These hotels are within the walking distance from the conference venue, the Beijing International Convention Center (BICC). Please notice that Monday, September 15, 2008 is the absolute deadline after which none of the hotels would guarantee to honor the discount rates. Please follow the link "Conference Hotels" to book hotels. All hotels are reserved on the "first come, first serve" basis. The number of rooms available in the hotel (Continental Grand) that is connected to BICC is decreasing fast. Attendees who could not find a suitable room in these hotels could take advantage of some rooms vacated by the hundreds of thousands of Olympic visitors through new subway routes, Lines #8, #10, #5, and Airport Lines, that are built for the Olympics and connect BICC to the Center of Beijing.
• Conference Registration: Please notice that the deadline for getting discounted (early) registration rates is: Friday, September 12, 2008. Please follow the link "Conference Registration" to register for the conference.
• Technical Program of the Conference: The Condensed Program, Full Program (Program Book), Abstract Book, and Meeting Planner are now available.

This will allow us to get the Symposium Proceedings to you in a more timely manner.
