because conference rooms are typically cool.

sessions Monday and Tuesday in the Exhibit Hall and Wednesday
in the Registration Foyer.
Visit the ASCE Bookstore!
ASCE's bookstore will showcase hundreds of titles from the

This is your once–a–year opportunity to visit what may be the
largest bookstore in the world devoted to structural engineering
titles.

Registrations) at the SEI Registration Desk. Additional
CDs may be purchased at the Bookstore.
