EDUCAUSE is pleased to announce the new Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference, which will be held December 3 & 4, 2001, at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland. The latest addition to the EDUCAUSE regional conferences, the Mid-Atlantic Regional will address the theme, "Visions, Expectations, and Reality: The Implications of Pervasive Computing."

Representatives from all institutions in the mid- Atlantic--public and private, large and small--are invited to attend.

The Program Committee has developed five tracks that cover the full range of IT issues relevant to the theme:
* Ubiquitous "Lessons Learned" (This track builds on the past four years of the successful national conference on Ubiquitous Computing.)
* Supporting Pervasive Computing on Campus
* Networking
* Teaching and Learning
* Administration/Management

A sixth track, Corporate Presentations, will showcase how corporations can help IT professionals.

To ensure the best conference for all attendees, EDUCAUSE is issuing a formal Call for Proposals. The deadline for proposal submissions is July 9, 2001. For more information on submitting a proposal, visit http://www.educause.edu/conference/marc/2001/
