I only got six responses from my survey.  *sigh*.

Well, here's the summary in case you wanted to know.....

1) Which symposia do you reguarly attend?

[occasionally]    3
[fall only]       1
[both]            1

2) how do YOU justify going?

-  support from boss who is also active in decus
-  requirement stipulated before person took current job
-  cost is "fraction" of yearly salary, and gains a lot for company
-  stay up to date, etc. (typical DECUs justification)
-  gets comnany "credit" for presenting session(s)


(I thought this was a pretty interesting range of justifications..)

3) What is your position?

System Manager (2)
Director of Academic computing
Senior programmer
Scientific engineering specialist


thanks for all the input, guys.
