Submission of contributions
One page long abstracts should be sent to: Leonardo.Rossi@ge.infn.it in .ps or .pdf formats or simple text.
The abstracts should bring the indication of the session(s) they refer to and should be sent in at latest by April 15
The acceptation will be communicated by e-mail before May 1st. 

 
 
 
 
 
Registration, hotel reservation and conference fee payment
Those willing to attend the conference should fill in the registration form as indicated in the conference web page. 
Registrations will be accepted up to May 5th, the conference is anyhow limited to ~100 participants, so it may be impossible to register once the quota is attained. 

Some rooms have been reserved in selected hotels. 
Early reservation is recommended, no rooms can be guaranteed after May 5th.

The payment of conference fee can either be done before May 15 through bank order of 300000 lire to:
Pixel 2000 Conference
Account number: 654294/38 in Banca di Roma, P.za de Ferrari 3, 16100
Genova (ABI: 3002 ; CAB: 01400)
or directly at the conference secretariat at check-in time. 
In this second case the fee will increase to 350000 lire and only cash (lire) will be accepted.


 
 
 
 
Conference presentations and copies
We intend to post on the web page of the conference all the presentations. 
This should minimize the need for photocopies and should allow everybody to access the information immediately after the conference has taken place. 
To ease the work of the secretariat, the presentations should be made available by the time of the conference in electronics form using well established formats (.pdf, .ps or .eps) or commonly used programs (framemaker, powerpoint, word). 

 
 
 
Computer access
Terminals and a couple of links for portable computers will be available at the conference secretariat. 

 
 
Proceedings
Proceedings will be published as a special issue of Nuclear Instruments and Methods. 
Instructions to the speakers will be communicated in due time.
