(H=Harold     A=Assistant)
A: School of Computing Technology. Professor Dylan’s office. Good morning.
H: Oh! Good morning. I was wondering if you could give me some information about the forthcoming Computing Technology 25th conference? Dates, enrollment procedures, cost... that sort of thing?
A: Certainly.
H: When exactly is the conference?
A: Well, the conference runs for four days from the 15th to the 18th of September.
H: 15th to 18th September... Oh, good. I’ll still be here then and urn..., where exactly is it being held? Is it at the university as in previous years?
A: No, it’s actually being held at the Pacific Hotel — we’ve rather outgrown the university conference facilities so we’ve altered for this new venue.
H: Right, Paradise Hotel.
A: No. Pacific Hotel.
H: Oh, right. And presumably, we can get accommodation at the hotel?
A: Yes, but you’ll need to contact them directly to arrange that. I’ll give you the number for hotel reservations. Have you got a pen ready?
H: Yeah, go ahead.
A: It’s area code (07) and then 9 triple 4 12 double 3.
H: 0-7-9 triple 4 1 2 double 3. And what’s the registration fee?
A: Individual fees are $360 for the 4 days, or $100 a day if you only wanted to attend for one day.
H: Are there any student concessions?
A: Oh, sure. There’s a 50 per cent concession for students, andthat’s $180 for the four days, or $50 a day.
H: And am I too late to offer to give a talk?
A: Oh, I’m pretty sure you’ve missed the deadline for that.
H: Oh, really? But I’ve only just arrived here in Australia — is there any way I could have a paper accepted?
A: Well, you’d need to talk to Professor Dylan. He’s the person organising the conference this year. I can put you through if you’d like.
H: Oh, yes please. That’d be great. Oh, and can I just check the spelling of his name? Is that Dylan? D-Y-L-A-N?
A: Yes, that’s correct.
