Status: U Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2003 23:51:03 -0400 (EDT) To: "R.A." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: "Simson L. Garfinkel, RFID Privacy Workshop Chair" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RFID Privacy Workshop @ MIT - November 15th Dear Workshop Registrant, Thank you for registering for the RFID Privacy Workshop at MIT. This email confirms your registration! WORKSHOP NEWS: * Currently, 65 people have registered for the workshop: * The agenda has been posted at http://www.rfidprivacy.org/agenda.php. Highlights include: * Morning Keynote by Mario Rivas, Executive Vice President, Philips Semiconductors. * Follow-up to the keynote, "STOP RFID," by Katherine Albrecht, CASPIAN. * Second follow-up, "Physics of RFID," by Matt Reynolds, at Thing Magic. * Afternoon Keynote: "Mistakes Were Made: RFID and the Press," by Peter de Jager * Nine other papers and presentations on the topic of RFID Privacy will be presented. * One panel discussion * RFID Privacy "Town Meeting" with substantial interaction from participants. LOGISTIC INFORMATION: * The workshop will be held at the Bartos Theater at the MIT Media Laboratory on Saturday, November 15th, from 9:00am - 5:00pm. (Please note the new time!) * We have made arrangements with both [EMAIL PROTECTED] and with the Boston Cambridge Marriott to secure special rates for the conference. Marriott: The rate at the Marriott is $149/night with $10/night extra for high-speed internet service. The Marriott is a 3 minute walk from the Bartos Theater. [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The rate at [EMAIL PROTECTED] is $139/night with high-speed internet access included. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a 15 minute walk from the Bartos Theater. We have only reserved 10 rooms at each, so book early! NOTE: These rates are probably higher than what you could do if you reserve a room the night before using Expedia or Orbitz. (I once got a room at [EMAIL PROTECTED] for $69!) The danger of this approach, though, is that the hotels might be full on the night of the 14th. See our website for details on how to get the special rates! * We have secured sponsorship from MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, MIT Media Lab, and RSA Security. Because of these sponsorships, there is a good chance that we will be able to waive the $40 workshop fee for pre-registered attendees. Stay tuned to the website for further information. * We have set up a BLOG that is tracking press announcements in this area. If you would like to contribute to the blog, drop me a note and I will set you up as a contributor. Anybody can comment on blog entries. As always, if you have any questions, please drop us a note.
