Here is a history of the Advance Programs starting with 2001. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIGCOMM 2001: Booklet: 12 8.5x11 color pages (on shiny white stock, stapled, self-mailer) Total Print run: 8200 ---------------------------- ACM LABELS: SIGCOMM SIGOPS ACM Students in Mexico (was the plan, but didn't happen) IEEE IEEE LABELS: ordered, ACM HQ commented that lists have been difficult to get and have generated a large amount of return mailings. ---------------------------- Costs: CFP printing/mailing: $1467 logo design at UCSD $500 ?not sure if there were any costs for web design? Adv Prog: printing: $6422 mailinglist: $520 from IEEE labeling? $250 postage $1270 $8462 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIGCOMM 2002 POSTCARD: large colorful POSTCARDS, size 8x5 TOTAL Print run: 8000 This year we widened our scope to include more SIGs ---------------------------- ACM: > sigcomm 2001, 99?? attendees > sigcomm members > sigops members > sigmetrics members > sigmobile members So, eventually ACM labels totalled: 4300 IEEE labels 2750 and shipped to localsite for local distribution: 300 with a plan to distribute the rest to conf. 650 IEEE: We ordered approx. 3000 mailing labels from IEEE(IEEE charged the $500 minimum) * we asked for infocom 2000, 2002, plus local people who are BOTH members of IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society and who lived nearby in PA, Boston, NJ, NY. However, that formula wasn't adding up to very many people (if they had to be both members of the computer society and communications society) * given that we had already printed the 3000 postcards, we ended up with sending the postcard to: all the states east of mississippi and all of infocom 2000 (all) and that was 2900, so infocom 2001 made the total about 3300, but when ACM checked for duplicates,I think that we ended up with 2750. * We didn't mail any postcards to major conferences in 2002 (I'm pretty sure) although the plan was to deliver the postcards to IETF and conferences. ---------------------------- Costs: $3500 logo design (way too expensive) $1500 CFP design (way too expensive) cfp costs: $850 for draft copy $2276.73 printing official mailed version 836.50 postage for US 204.14 postage for world-wide Adv Prog costs: $500 design 500.00 IEEE labels 1706.52 printing 1774.54 postage for US (approx 5650 pieces + canada?) 185.70 postage for world-wide (approx 1400 - canada?) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIGCOMM 2003 Booklet: full color 8 pages, glue (no staple), each page is 1/2 of an A4 page This means that each of the 8pages is in 5.83" x 8.27" page2: intro/welcome, pg3: 2 tutorials, pg4/5 6 workshops, page 6/7 entire week schedule with tech program detail Printed 6000 copies of the Adv Program: ---------------------------- Labels were ordered for sigcomm/sigops/sigmetrics/sigmobile/sigcomm2001 attendees, sigcomm2002 plus given the advice that IEEE labels have a lot of bad addresses, we used instead 1200 foreign ACM addresses (which were mostly German) the plan was to distribute them as: #Foreign: 2250 #US/Canada: 2750(they accidentally mailed 3100 copies,i.e.duplicates) #June/July Conferences: 500 #Chairs: 300, for local distribution #ACM HQ: 200 (as a backup) ---------------------------- Adv Prog costs in dollars, approximately: no cost for design and no IEEE labels $1625 printing in Germany (1385 Euros) $1205 US postage/handling by ACM (approx 2750 to US/canada) $2880 postage for EU and non-North America (from Germany) $ 439 shipping extras to conferences Adv Prog actual costs: EUR 1385.04 Euros printing the 6000 copies in Germany US$ 1205.33 $ postage for mailing to US/Canada (assume about 2750 copies) EUR 374.40 (approx) shipping of the 3350 copies to ACM's service Sheridan US$ 2290.91 check by ACM to reimburse German postage US$ 587.31 check by ACM to reimburse German postage, prep & envelope insertion TOTAL in Euros appears to be: E5111, which is approximately: $6150 Details on German postage/handling: EUR 1,262.25 935 copies "Infobrief" (postage category of German Mail) EUR 382.72 736 copies inside European Union (incl. tax) EUR 351.20 582 copies to rest of Europe and world In retrospect, mailing from DE was expensive, given the size of the booklet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIGCOMM 2004 Booklet: full color 8 pages, ? no staple ?, each page is 1/2 of 8.5x11 This means that each of the 8 pages is 5.5x8.5" page2: intro/welcome, pg3 tutorials 1 and 2, pg4/5 tutorial 3, and 4 workshops page 6/7 entire week schedule with tech program detail Printed 5250, mailed 4500. ---------------------------- Labels: We want 4500 labels total: A) 3673 from SIGCOMM/SIGOPS/SIGMETRICS/SIGMOBILE/SIGCOMM2003 Attendees B) we want 827 unique labels (that don't overlap with the 3673) that are from NEARBY CITIES so that we end up with a total of 4500 labels to mail out. History: Julia found 3947 labels in the following selected cities (which was way too many), so I am leaving it up to the label person to pick the 827 labels that are closest to Portland and that are NOT in (A) above: Please start with: Oregon, then Washington, then British Columbia, then Alberta... Thanks, Chris THE ORIGINAL LIST that gave us 3947 regional labels was: Oregon: Portland, Salem & Eugene Washington: Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma British Columbia: Vancouver, Victoria Alberta: Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge, Red Deer, Medicine Hat, St. Albert, Fort MacMurray Nevada: Las Vegas, Reno California: Los Angeles, Oakland, Long beach, Sacramento, San Jose, San Francisco & San Diego ---------------------------- Costs: $4537 Design (too expensive) 2437 Printing (5250 copies) 1347 (handling and postage for 3361 copies) 463 (handling and non-North America postage for 1139 copies) 28 (for postage 750 copies shipping to conferences, probably LOW) $8812 TOTAL ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIGCOMM 2005? please send to me when available
