CUG Conference Registration

Conference Registration

Who May Attend

CUG meetings are not open sessions according to our organization's corporate bylaws and guidelines. Admittance to any meeting session requires the appropriate identification badge.

In general, employees of a CUG Member site (identified by its CUG site code), and users of computing services provided by a CUG Member site, may attend a CUG meeting as a registered Installation Participant from that CUG Member site.

In addition, CUG bylaws specify that a "CUG Visitor" is "(a)ny individual who is not an Installation Representative and who is invited to attend a specific function of the Corporation ... [with] the prior approval of the Board of Directors." This generally applies to an occasional invited speaker who brings important perspectives to our meeting in support of a strong technical program.

Subject to the restrictions in the Sponsor Agreement, Conference Sponsors may also attend. Sponsorship opportunities are limited, and must include the approval of Cray, Inc. For information on the benefits of becoming a Conference Sponsor, please contact the CUG Treasurer.

Cray Inc. Employees

Conference registration for Cray employees is processed by Linda Yetzer. Please do not use this online system. Linda's phone number is (1-651) 605-8961; her e-mail address is yetzerll@cray.com.
