Conference Registration

Who May Attend

CUG meetings are not open sessions, according to our organization's corporate bylaws and guidelines. Admittance to any meeting session requires the appropriate identification badge. Generally speaking, employees of a CUG Member site (usually a facility or company using an SGI or Cray Inc. computer and identified by its CUG site code), and users of computing services provided by a CUG member site, may attend a CUG meeting as a registered Installation Participant from that CUG Member site.

In addition, CUG bylaws specify that a "CUG Visitor" is "Any individual who is not an Installation Representative and who is invited to attend a specific function of the Corporation ... [with] the prior approval of the Board of Directors." This generally applies to an occasional invited speaker who brings important perspectives to our meeting in support of a strong technical program.

Finally, CUG bylaws state that "Meetings shall not be used for marketing or other commercial purposes."

First-time Attendees

We encourage first-time attendees to seek out CUG Board Members and other CUG leaders. Board Members and SIG and Focus Chairs will be wearing ribbons by which you may identify them. They look forward to welcoming you and to helping you with information about how CUG works.
