Beyond the Digital/Cultural Divide: In/visibility and New Media

The biennial CATaC conference series, begun in 1998, has become a premier international forum for current research on the complex interactions between culturally-variable norms, practices, and communication preferences, and interaction with the design, implementation and use of information and communication technologies (ICTs).

For those considering attending CATaC'12, we strongly encourage you to go ahead and book your preferred accommodations now. CATaC'12 will be simply one among many (and in some cases, much larger) conferences taking place in Aarhus in June and accommodation possibilities
are already becoming quite tight.  We are fortunate to have a block of rooms for CATaC participants reserved in the Hotel Mercur at Viby Torv (http://www.hotel-mercur.dk/uk/). The hotel, however, is a convenient but 25-minute bus ride from the conference venue. Several other possibilities, closer in town, are listed and linked to from the accommodation page. Bookings made now, of course, can be cancelled later - usually up until a day or two before arrival - without penalty.  Even if you are not certain of attending - e.g., you need to await final decision on a proposal, etc. - it would be better to book now and decide to cancel later (should it come to that) than encounter every-growing difficulty in acquiring a room reservation.
