\centerline{{\big 14th Annual \TeX\ Users Group Meeting
July 26th\thinspace --\thinspace 30th, 1993}}
\bigskip

Aston University in Birmingham (United Kingdom) will be the venue for
the 1993 TUG conference. Aston is the home of the `Aston
Archive', one of the largest collections of electronic
\TeX\ paraphernalia. This is the first time that the annual
meeting will have been held outside of North America.

The {\bf location} of the conference at one centre of the electronic
web and its movement from North America encourage particular focus on
the `world-wide' aspects of \TeX, \LaTeX\ and \MF{}\null. The marked rise
in maturity of windowing systems (X Window system, Microsoft Windows,
Macintosh, Atari, Amiga, etc.)\ also allows us to exploit more
visually oriented methods in employing the \TeX\ tools. It is hoped that
there will be a contribution to the conference from the Didot project,
further extending the range of topics to include digital typography
and font creation.

The {\bf conference} will feature the normal paper presentations.
Workshops, poster displays, courses, panels and `birds of a feather'
sessions will also form integral components.

{\bf Contributions} are urgently sought in the following subject
areas:\hfil\break
\ignorespaces\Dot archives\Dot electronic networks\Dot formatting structured
documents\Dot \LaTeX3\Dot graphical user interfaces to \TeX ware\Dot
non-English issues\Dot non-Latin scripts\Dot digital typography\Dot
editing structured documents\Dot styles\Dot other typesetting
systems\Dot document views\Dot

\leftline{{\big Courses: }}
There will be a selection of \TeX\ Users Group courses organised in
conjunction with the meeting.  Various workshops will also form a part
of the main conference.

\medskip \leftline{{\big Social details: }} The conference will take
place on the Aston University campus in central Birmingham, with
excellent travel connections. Birmingham is situated very conveniently
for access to all parts of England, especially the Midlands areas
including Stratford and Oxford, as well as much of Wales.
Participants will be given details of local events and sightseeing
suggestions, including a guide to the culinary treats offered by
Birmingham's multi-ethnic society.

Social events will include dinners, receptions, and a mystery trip
to an unexpected face of Birmingham. Accompanying persons will be
helped to have a rewarding time in the area, and will also be offered
a beginners' course in \TeX; this course is available as well to those
who would like a crash course in \TeX\ prior to
the conference proper.
The approximate cost of attendance at the conference will be \pounds
100, or \pounds 250 including accommodation and meals.
%%% The normal
%%% accommodation will be on campus in the University residences. Those
%%% wishing to book outside hotel accommodation, or executive accommodation
%%% on campus, will find details on the booking form.

The normal accommodation provided will be on campus in the University
residences, but alternative arrangements (e.g. for executive
accommodation on campus, or hotel accommodation) are also possible;
full details of these and other options are given on the booking form
which is available upon request.

Full computer facilities, including electronic mail and network
contacts, will be available to participants. The rich holdings of the
UK \TeX\ Archive will, of course, be easily accessible.
