comp.dsp Conference Agenda - Adjusted to Two Full Days of Presentations Only

Here's what we've got planned. Note that this is the preliminary schedule of events and is subject to change:

We have two full days of presentations surrounded by a casual, low-key atmosphere to facilitate networking and casual discussion. So join us to learn a little more about DSP and related topics while enjoying beer and a bon fire on a hot summer night in Minnesota. And take home your own T-Shirt to commemorate the event!

Bring Your Family and Enjoy Minnesota!

Attendees are invited to bring their families / partners / significant others to join us as there will some optional social events organized to accommodate them. (Optional events and their associated costs are not included in registration.)
