REGISTRATION REMINDER FOR ISMIR 2003
4th International Conference on Music Information Retrieval
October 26-30, 2003
Baltimore, Maryland 
http://ismir2003.ismir.net

** Register by August 15th and take advantage of the  discounted early
registration fees! **

Registration for ISMIR 2003 is available online through the  ISMIR 2003
web site (see above).  Conference program  information is also available
from this site, which will be  updated periodically. Accomodations are
available through  the conference hotel, and reservations can now be
made  through the "hotel" link on the above web site. 

All paper, panel and tutorial sessions will take place at  the
conference hotel in Baltimore (including a panel session devoted to
copyright issues.) In addition, a gala  dinner and special concert will
be held at the Peabody Conservatory of  Music.  A highlight of the
conference will be Keynote  Speaker Anthony Seeger, anthropologist,
audiovisual  archivist, musician, and currently professor of 
ethnomusicology at UCLA.  The conference will also feature  tours and a
reception at the Library of Congress in  Washington, D.C.  

The annual ISMIR Conference is the first established  international
forum for those involved in work on accessing   digital musical
materials. It reflects the tremendous growth  of music-related data
available either locally or remotely   through networks and the
consequent need to search this   content and retrieve music and musical
information   efficiently and effectively. 

We hope to see many of you at ISMIR 2003.
