GENERAL INFORMATION 

For the 10th consecutive year, the European Smalltalk User Group is 
organizing a Smalltalk Conference to bring together Smalltalk users
from 
both academia and industry in a friendly atmosphere. As always, the 
attendents will enjoy tutorials, workshops and demonstrations on
various 
Smalltalk related subjects. Continuing a strong tradition in
organizing 
Smalltalk events for Smalltalk developers, this year promises to be
very 
exciting. 

All these exciting events will take place in the last week of August,
at the 
Ecole des Mines de Douai in Douai, France (1h30 away from Brussels by
car 
and 1h10 away from Paris by train). The Conference takes place at
Douai in 
France. Early information can be found at www.esug.org or at 
http://www.iutc3.unicaen.fr:8000/esug2002/1. 

ESUG organizes a Smalltalk Joint Event comprised of: Camp Smalltalk, 
Smalltalk Conference, a Free Software Day, a Teachers Forum and
Smalltalk 
Doctoral Symposium! 
- An official (and free) Camp Smalltalk (notice that it starts on the 
saturday before so that Campers can be productive and stay during the 
week). ESUG will sponsor the food. 
- The Smalltalk Doctoral Symposium, where students doing Master and
PhD 
theses have the opportunity to present and discuss their research work 
with industrial and academic Smalltalk experts. 
- Finally the Advanced Seminars: 
Similar to last year, we will offer two tracks: invited talks which 
should interest everyone, and the technical presentations, which are 
more specicalized. Dave Thomas (the OTI founder) and Dave Simmons
(SmallScript
creator) are the keynotes speakers 

This year: 
- a free Software day will be organized around GnuSmalltalk, 
PocketSmalltalk, and Squeak (contact
Serge.Stinckwich at info.unicaen.fr). 
- a Teachers Forum will be organized to share teaching experiences. We 
are looking for experience reports. We are looking for teachers to
report their
experiences using Smalltalk (contact ducasse at iam.unibe.ch) 
- ESUG will support the Squeak Foundation by donating 10% of its 
benefits. 

Exhibitors or sponsors should directly contact Stephane Ducasse 
(ducasse at iam.unibe.ch) or Roel Wuyts (wuyts at iam.unibe.ch) for more 
information. 


The conference fees has been lower to their minimum: 
300 Eur for companies and 150 ? for academics. 
The hosting will be excellent with internet connection in the rooms: 
accomodation: 50 or 60 ? per night
