Greetings and Cheers to All SC2002 Research Exhibitors!

Congratulations are in order! The SC2002 conference was a record-breaking success that attracted approximately 7,200 participants to the technical program sessions and exhibit floor, nearly 2,000 more than last year. Moreover, the conference featured a record-breaking 223 exhibitors (99 of which were Research Exhibitors) covering nearly two acres of exhibit floor display area.

The SC2002 Research Exhibits Committee extends special thanks to both you and your exhibit teams for the determination, drive, cheerful spirits, and commitment to excellence that laid the foundation for one of the most successful Research Exhibit Programs ever! In short, the SC2002 Research Exhibit Program would not have been successful without YOU and we hope that you will accept this special invitation to return again next year to Phoenix, AZ (November 15-21, 2003) for SC2003. In addition to learning more about your continuing success and accomplishments, we look forward to renewing the many friendships developed this year.

As the hectic pace of SC2002 subsides, we hope that each of you will have an opportunity to relax, unwind and enjoy the upcoming holiday season. May the New Year continue to bring you success, prosperity, and joy as you follow your future pursuits!

Best Wishes,

The SC2002 Research Exhibits Committee
