More precisely, Usenix *tries* to hold its winter conference in the same
place and time as Uniforum, because Usenix attendees value being able to
attend the Uniforum trade show as well.  There have been joint conferences
once or twice, but in recent times the "sharing" has been limited to free
Uniforum trade-show admissions for Usenix attendees.

Same-place-same-time conferences will be less frequent in the next few
years, as I understand it, because of scheduling complications.
