[Insight-developers] [Fwd: RE: ITK course at SPIE Medical Imaging]

[Stephen R. Aylward]

Hi,

Because of the alphabetical listing of names in the course, I've become 
the contact for the SPIE Medical Imaging tutorial. :)

They've asked us to present again in 2004, but they also have 
acknowledged that perhaps having the tutorial every-other-year is more 
appropriate.

1) If you are interested in participating in this - please send me an email

2) If you feel we should skip one year - please send me an email

I'll report the results to the list.

Thanks,
Stephen

Stephen,

You had a very good attendance for your ITK course at last February's SPIE
Medical Imaging Symposium.  Congratulations on presenting such a desirable
course.

Unless you think that you have exhausted the pool of those attendees who
have an interest in ITK, I think it would be very worthwhile if you and
your fellow lecturers could present your course again next February.

If you prefer to skip a year and come back to give the course in 2005, I
imagine that would be OK too.  However, I will not be involved in the
organization of the Symposium after 2004, so I can not speak for the future
organizers.  Personally, I think there is some advantage to giving courses
every other year, just to keep interest and attendance up.

As for funding, I assume that you received a stipend from SPIE last
February for presenting the course.  However, because you had quite a few
presenters and the amount of money may have seemed meager and indeed may
not have paid for your expenses.  If that is a problem, perhaps you could
find a way to give the course with fewer lecturers.  Just a suggestion.

Please contact Bonnie Peterson at SPIE about when she needs to have your
decision.  You may coordinate further logistics through her.

Cheers,
Ken Hanson
