[SIGCIS-Members] FW: [Sighfis-l] History of Information conference, Philadelphia, Feb 23-25, 2016

[Evan Hepler-Smith]

Dear all,

First off, thanks very much to Tom for posting this to the list. (I'm one
of the co-organizers.) I can't believe that I hadn't yet done so myself,
because...

Second, we'd really love to have historians of computing at the conference.
As Tom mentions, we're taking on some questions of interest to this
community, and our conversations would greatly benefit from the
participation of anyone present who can make it.

Third, we'll have at least a liiittle bit on information in business (the
chemical industry) in my talk, though admittedly you wouldn't know it from
the title/abstract.

Hope to see some of you there. Feel free to drop me a note if you have any
questions.

Best,
Evan
