\centerline{\bf Forthcoming Meetings}
\medskip\noindent
{\bf RIAO 88}: User-Oriented Context-Based Text
and Image Handling, MIT, Cambridge MA, March 21--24
1988.

The sharp end of electronic publishing, with
very little about non-electronic documents.
It is very much an international conference,
although dominated by US and French researchers.
The conference cost is about \$300 or 1750FF (which
turn out to be about the same in sterling, despite the
demise of the dollar). Accommodation extra.

\bigskip\noindent
{\bf EP88}: International Conference on
Electronic Publishing, Document Manipulation
and Typography, Nice (France), April 20--22, 1988.

It's too late now to submit a paper to this conference
(apparently over 100 were submitted --- not in
abstract, but in full, final form --- and only
18 selected). There are 22 papers in the conference,
4 of which were invited (starring Richard Southall,
Brian Reid, Richard Morris, Peter Brown and I.~Mandel).
Being French, there is a proper 2-hour lunch break.
The cost is dependent on two things: whether you
are from a University or not, and whether you
pay the registration fees before or after March 15th.
The cheapest is 1,200\,FF (early, University), and
the most expensive 3,000\,FF (late, non-University).
This does not cover accommodation.
The programme suggests that there will be 400
participants.

\bigskip\noindent
{\bf Markup'88}: The Sixth International Conference
and Showcase on Standard Generalized Markup
Language {\sc sgml} and related topics,
Ottowa, Canada, May 24--26, 1988.

Lots of initials in the titles of the talks,
some of which I can decode. The most notable
growth area is in {\sc sgml} software.
Cost, \$US440--560, depending on what group
you are a member of. This does not include hotel
accomodation.
