'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

--------------
'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

== '''CONFERENCES''' ==
Note: Because SIAT researchers cross disciplinary boundaries, there are a huge number of conferences one might consider.

The important factor to keep in mind is that SIAT cannot fund travel to a huge # of conferences.

--------------------------------------------
'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

--------------
'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

== '''CONFERENCES''' ==
Note: Because SIAT researchers cross disciplinary boundaries, there are a huge number of conferences one might consider.

The important factor to keep in mind is that SIAT cannot fund travel to a huge # of conferences.

The ones listed here are on SIAT's list. The ones indicated in bold are ones SIAT researchers frequent OR are targets for our lab.

''If you'd like to present at a conference not listed here, you can -- just talk to Dr. Gromala about the strategy to do so.''

'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

Note: Because SIAT researchers cross disciplinary boundaries, there are a huge number of conferences one might consider.

The important factor to keep in mind is that SIAT cannot fund travel to a huge # of conferences.

The ones listed here are on SIAT's list. The ones indicated in bold are ones SIAT researchers frequent OR are targets for our lab.

''If you'd like to present at a conference not listed here, you can -- just talk to Dr. Gromala about the strategy to do so.''

'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

== '''CONFERENCES''' ==

'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

--------------
'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

--------------------------------------------
'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

--------------------------------------------
'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

--------------------------------------------
'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

--------------------------------------------
'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

HECHT foundation project: Possibility of a WIP paper?

Get the Proxy for Faculty access

Getting demos ready for VMW on Alienware

Debugging demos for VMW (we should definitely consider getting a SpeedTree license)

Biofeedback sensors: Thought Technologies Pro COmp+, UL listing, medical certification (maybe we can use Arduino GSR just for demoing in lab etc.?)
https://store.empatica.com/products/e4-wristband?variant=945527715 -> They have an academic discount, it is wristband so easy to carry around for VMW demos, and an API which means that we can get to program this for our own applications. (Steve DiPaola mentions that he uses this device explicitly in all of his pitches; esp. when you do namedropping such as "NASA, Stanford uses that" that gives an impression like you are on the same page with them)

Update option for our existing sensor, not sure what will it bring

Providing PCs to be bought for demo/development

Getting Oculus & VIVE work on Alienware

Alienware source control setup: SVN or Mercurial (we might need 1-2-4TB SSD hard drive, gotta ask Larry whether he can assemble?)

Migrating existing projects to source control (we need a 4TB USB drive to store files related to source control and all existing revisions)

SPIE conf. editing/travel grant & visa applications

Adding exercises to existing neck game prototype (24-25th of Oct.)

'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

--------------------------------------------
'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

--------------------------------------------
'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

--------------------------------------------
'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

--------------------------------------------
'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

Biofeedback sensors: Thought Technologies Pro COmp+, UL listing, medical certification (maybe we can use Arduino GSR just for demoing in lab etc.?)
https://store.empatica.com/products/e4-wristband?variant=945527715 -> They have an academic discount, it is wristband so easy to carry around for VMW demos, and an API which means that we can get to program this for our own applications. (Steve DiPaola mentions that he uses this device explicitly in all of his pitches; esp. when you do namedropping such as "NASA, Stanford uses that" that gives an impression like you are on the same page with them)

Providing PCs to be bought for demo/development

Getting Oculus & VIVE work on Alienware

Alienware source control setup: SVN or Mercurial (we might need 1-2-4TB SSD hard drive, gotta ask Larry whether he can assemble?)

Migrating existing projects to source control (we need a 4TB USB drive to store files related to source control and all existing revisions)

--------------------------------------------
'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

--------------------------------------------
'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

--------------------------------------------
'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

--------------------------------------------
'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''

--------------
'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

--------------------------------------------
'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

''• show leadership:'' keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

''• show leadership:''make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information, incl. travel.

''• show leadership:'' contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

''• organize:''by preparing slides, posters, swag or other materials that are necessary.

''• to follow through'' by hanging those posters in the lab when you get home AND

''• to follow through'' by adding the exact citation so we can refer to it for all CV additions and annual reports for the lab.

''• to follow through'' by contacting ppl you met & giving their business cards w/annotations/notes to DGr.

''• to follow through by ARCHIVING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to zotero: INCLUDE SEP. DOCUMENT OF GRAPHS, IMAGES IN HI RES, ETC.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' uploading each paper or poster document to Research Gate, Google Scholar, etc.

''• to follow through by DISSEMINATING:'' producing & uploading a blog post:'' writing, editing, finding a photo for & uploading a blog post for each conference talk, exhibit, poster, demo, etc.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the project's team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, you will lead a project.

Other times, you will follow for other projects.

You MUST be willing and able to do whichever is required, per project. DO NOT NEGOTIATE -- one team leader per project -- the buck stops with that person.

'''EVERYONE: MAKE SURE YOU PLAN AHEAD. TRUST NOTHING.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER ASSUME YOU OR OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONLINE ON-SITE OR

THAT YOU CAN FIND A SHOP TO BUY PUSH PINS OR TAPE OR BATTERIES,

OR THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL HAVE AN EXTRA DISPLAY OR KEYBOARD FOR YOU TO USE.

NEVERNEVERNEVER.'''.

'''BEFORE YOU DEPART'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

• BRING BACK-UP DATA OR INFO RE: OUR CONTEXT AS IT INTERSECTS W/THEIRS: these can include:

- one-pager time-line or "map" of our pubs,

- a bibliographic list of our pubs,

- boxology,

- short videos that you could show ppl while you discuss a poster,

- a postcard of Dr. Gromala's nightmare (you can't just buy an off-the-shelf HMD & VR game and hope it results in pain control! or one that says researchers have not yet determined what the exact mechanisms are that explains why VR works as pain distraction w/a boxology of the technology, the content, the patient, the treatment context/placebo, etc.,

- a postcard that tells a medical audience simple facts such as there are LOTS of studies of VR that never make it into PubMed databases because we're in a different discipline --

''whatever you think we MIGHT need, esp. given the exact nature of each conference.''

'''ON SITE:'''

''
1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation''

Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people & FOLLOW THRU ASAP --

Get names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR BUSINESS CARDS & ANNOTATE THEM ASAP

From people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

4. Follow through: give the annotated business cards to DGr w/explanations about who to contact.

In addition to DGr contacting these ppl, YOU should ALSO contact people when you think it's appropriate for you to do so, to thank, to pursue opportunities mentioned, to send images to when asked, etc.

--------------------------------------------
'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

• keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

• to make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information,

• to contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

'''EVERYONE: Make sure you PLAN AHEAD'''.

'''Before you depart'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

'''ON SITE:'''

1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation (Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people -- names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR & ANNOTATE BUSINESS CARDS of people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

--------------------------------------------
'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

• keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

• to make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information,

• to contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

'''EVERYONE: Make sure you PLAN AHEAD'''.

'''Before you depart'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

'''ON SITE:'''

1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation (Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people -- names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR & ANNOTATE BUSINESS CARDS of people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

--------------------------------------------
NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.

'''CONFERENCE INFO & PREP'''

'''By "in charge,"''' I mean: the person whose main responsibility is to:

• keep in touch with the organizers & DGr,

• to make sure everyone who is planning to attend is kept updated with on-going information,

• to contact DGr by whatever means necessary when a time-sensitive or time-crucial task is due, and so on.

Obviously, you are part of a team, but essentially are the team leader who ensures that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

'''EVERYONE: Make sure you PLAN AHEAD'''.

'''Before you depart'''

• Plan, create slides and practice your talks or demos.

• PRACTICE. Yes, that means actually practice the demo so it is least likely to fail on site. You can never account for al of the things that do go wrong, but you can reduce these inevitabilities by planning & practicing.

• BRING BACK-UPs. Include back-up data on another device, back-up projectors or whatever you need, a back-up video if the demo fails or fails temporarily,

• BRING: one-pager descriptions you can hand people when you are crushed by a crowd of people who each have questions, SFU & Pain Lab swag, and so on.

'''ON SITE:'''

1. DOCUMENT the heck out of your presentation (Be sure to ask someone to take a picture of you talking). Take pictures & video. Don't rely on others -- make sure it's done.

2. GET INFO from media people -- names, business cards, what they plan to use the info for, when they plan to publish/air the story, etc.

3. BE SURE YOU ASK FOR & ANNOTATE BUSINESS CARDS of people who suggest they have an opportunity (write on the back of the business card).

== Papers ==

Here are three journals we should aim for related to interactive art:

'''''Leonardo,''''' MIT Press, www.leonardo.info/leoinfo.html

NOTE: this one also has 2 page short papers for CHI-like grad students.
Carefully read what kinds of papers they accept.

'''''Technoetic Arts''''' (interactive art + consciousness, senses), Intellect (UK)
www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-issue,id=2819/?utm_source=Visual+Arts+newsletter+March&utm_campaign=VANewsMarch&utm_medium=email

Example articles:

''Digital hustling: ICT practices of hip hop artists in Grahamstown''

''This is not an app, this is not an artwork: Exploring mobile selfie-posting software''

''Disrupters, This is Disrupter X: Mashing up the archive''

''‘The Stone Sky’: Dwelling and habitation in other worlds''

''Are we our fictions?: The narrative boundaries of self''

''Excavating the ghost from the meat-covered skeleton: An aesthetic engagement with
technologically-mediated medical imagery''

'''''Digital Creativity''''', Routledge (UK) www.ingentaconnect.com/content/routledg/digc;jsessionid=7avbakkcb1oos.alice

Example articles (this was special issue re: museums)

''Between control and creativity: challenging co-creation and social media use in a museum context ''

''Fictional institutions and institutional frictions: creative approaches to open GLAMs''

''Designing infrastructures for creative engagement''

''Towards children's creative museum engagement and collaborative sense-making ''

''Participatory heritage innovation: designing dialogic sites of engagement''

''Empathic negotiations through material culture: co-designing and making digital exhibits
''

'''''International Journal of Arts and Technology''''', Inderscience
http://www.inderscience.com/jhome.php?jcode=IJART
Example articles:

''Supporting intense physical interaction in technology-enhanced therapeutic play''

''Re-sensitising the body: interactive art and the Feldenkrais method. ''

Here are other journals; the ones I am familiar with are in italics.

[[interactive art]]

''Convergence'' (1) more art than design, art & the humanities/theory

''Digital Creativity'' (2)

'''BEFORE THE CONFERENCE:'''
--------------------------------------------

'''AS SOON AS YOUR PAPER/EXHIBIT/DEMO IS ACCEPTED, SEE DGr to spprove of travel. THEN, APPLY FOR TRAVEL FUNDING ASAP.'''

NOTE: Your safety comes first, so when in doubt, choose the safer route, the closer hotel, share taxis w/ppl you know, beware Air bnb's, etc.

'''1. Please READ SIAT’s travel info doc.'''

'''2. Before you do anything else, develop a budget.''' See SFU’s travel claim site for prices.

Use this for an estimate if you are unsure:

''Airfare'' $350. N.America

''Hotel'' $100./night if poss.

''Ground transport:'' $50.

''Registration:'' $400. (student rate)

(Try to keep it as near to $1,000. as possible for U.S./CAN)

The more “matching funds” you can find, the more likely you are to get more $.
Examples of “matching”: amt. DGr contributes, registration fee waiver, sharing hotel rooms, sharing taxis, etc.

'''BE SURE YOU LIST CAN$ or U.S.$''' (www.oanda.com, look near bottom of page for calculator)

'''BE SURE YOU ATTACH the conf. paper acceptance letter + reviews'''

See me if you have a hard time getting the reviews. SPIE, for example, doesn’t provide reviews.

'''3. Apply for travel from as many places as you can find:''' (also, if you have more than one paper, you can get more $; includes a paper + workshop, panel, poster, demo, exhibit, or screening (or rarely: work at a SIAT booth)

'''a) SIAT:''' $1000. or $500.

If you are 1st or 2cd author (or if you have 2 or more presentations*), you can get up to $1,000.

If you are not 1st or 2cd author, you can get up to $500.

'''b) FCAT''' $350.?

'''c) SFU Grad Student Org.''' (whatever it's called) $200.

NOTE: Even tho their website has deadlines listed, word on the street is that they will even entertain reimbursements after the fact because they have more funding than applicants?

'''I NEED TO MATCH whatever SIAT gives you.'''

'''I NEED TO SIGN EACH APPLICATION FORM &'''

'''I NEED TO WRITE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SIAT APPLICATION.'''

''Never ask for me (or anyone) to sign an application that is not filled in — it’s illegal for me (or others) to do so.''

Typically, all of this combined doesn’t cover all of your expenses.

When I have funding, I try to cover as much as I can, depending. For example, when there is a clear match between the conference paper and my NSERC, it’s easy.

Because of the exchange rate, and because my NSERC $ doesn’t arrive until April 1,

'''''please take advantage of all early bird registration opportunities.'''''

--------------------------------------------
'''WAYS TO SAVE $'''
--------------------------------------------

'''SAVE ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS''' -- SFU WON'T REIMBURSE W/OUT THEM. Includes everything: airplane ticket stubs, parking, etc.

'''1. Share hotel rooms.'''

'''2. Share taxi cabs.'''

'''3. Share meals''' (Except in California, and often even there, portions are HUGE).
• It is common for students or people who are in dates to order an entree w/2 plates — that is, they split an entree. A few restaurants may want to charge a little for that, but all you have to do is to say you are a poor student, and they won’t.)

• Most hotel rooms have mini-refrigerators — it’s too expensive to buy food or drinks from those, but everyone uses them for leftovers. Some hotels provide “continental breakfast” -- pastries, fruit, juices, coffee/tea. I actually bring my own breakfast, nuts, rice crackers — stuff you can bring on the plane (anything that is sealed) because it saves a lot in food costs. Alternatively, if you split a breakfast in a hotel with someone, you get so much food that you may not need lunch.

'''4. Ask if there are any discounts at every step.'''

• STUDENT DISCOUNTS are everywhere — you just have to remember to ask & show them your card.

Hotels, museums, movies, tourist things, tours, things people sell, buses, etc.

• MEMBERS OF BCAA can get 10-20% off car rentals, and some hotels.

• CAR RENTALS:

- If you are male and under 25, it will be pricey. To save $, figure out who the least expensive main driver will be & add a 2nd driver.

- Insurance. Car rental companies make a killing on extras like insurance. It’s a gamble tho because if you don’t have insurance and something happens, it can be very expensive. ''Best bet: see if your credit card covers rental car insurance (many do) or join BCAA before you go.''

- Prices can differ dramatically if you rent a car when you make plane reservations, or if you rent it from and return it to the airport (vs. renting it downtown).

'''5. Fly into smaller airports'''
Airfare AND car rentals can often be cheaper at smaller airports.

• Check out where your conference is located, then

• where you are staying, then the airports.

If you are staying near one of the smaller airports, it’s worth it to check out prices for airfare & car rentals.

''Bay Area:'' SFO (San Francisco’s), San Jose

''LA:'' LAX: is SW of downtown (30 mins., w/out traffic).

Orange County: is South (if SIGGRAPH is in Anaheim; 60mins. or more to downtown w/out traffic).

John Wayne: is near Silver Lake, where many young “creatives” live. If you are staying w/someone in Silver Lake or Pasadena, it’s a good option.

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Bellingham (just over the border) — just be sure to check the exchange rate.''

''Sometimes it is worth flying out of Seattle, esp. for flights to Chicago, certain parts of Asia or S.America.''

'''6. Take flights that have 1 stop.''' They are always cheaper.

'''7. Always keep looking for cheap flights, but don’t depend on just one online app.'''

WestJet is almost always the cheapest for flights in the “Cascadia Corridor” (Vancouver to SF or LA),
but they don’t always appear on other online sites.

When you see an extraordinarily cheap air fare, GRAB IT IMMEDIATELY.

If it seems too good to be true, you can bet people will snap it up in 24 hours or less.

'''8. Ask to have the conference registration fee waived,''' esp. for games conferences.

Because my first academic lifetime was in the Arts — an area that never has funding —
I learned early how to travel inexpensively and how to get discounts.

For example, conference organizers will often waive registration fees if you ask; you have a 50% chance of getting your registration fee waived OR reduced. Chances are better if you give them good reasons, such as:

• you are really excited about the conference because ______

• you’re a grad student and can get SOME funding, but not enough

• it’s important for your future (esp. if you aren't from N.America)

• medical or games conference registration fees are much higher than your (SIAT) program allows

• we (SIAT or Pain Lab) have multiple papers accepted, but there’s only funding for one person to go

• you’d be happy to do something in return (a demo is easiest)

ACM conferences like CHI & SIGGRAPH won’t waive fees unless you or I know the conference or venue chairs & have a reason.

They are FAR MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO YOU than to me, if I asked on your behalf. Most people remember how hard it was to be a grad student.

'''9. FIND Special Funding w/DGr:''' there are often special pots of funding for travel abroad, travel to receive nifty prizes, competitions or other honorary kind of travel.

NOTES ON REGIONS
--------------------------------------------

'''The Bay Area'''

San Francisco is one of the few American cities where you don’t need a car.
However, tho it is nearby, the Silicon Valley is ''not'' San Francisco — it is a car-based area.
In the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley): stay as near to the conference venue as possible.
The commute from SF to SJ isn’t feasible for a conference in most cases.

If you have family, colleagues or friends who will let you stay with them, ''be sure to calculate the hotel savings vs. the cost of transport.''
If their place is near mass transit (BART), no problem; otherwise, you’ll need a car.

''It is often cheaper to rent a car + pay for gas + convention centre parking than to pay for hotel.''

'''Los Angeles'''

If you stay downtown, you won’t need a car. Often, someone else you know who is at the conference (esp. SIGGRAPH) WILL have a car, and are much more likely to take you to see the sights than you think.
There are also busses that will take you to the ocean or Hollywood — just ask the hotel concierge because they often can get you a discount.
(They probably also get a little payback if they talk you into some other transport option, but all you have to do is to say no to those.)

Must see as part of your grad education: the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Santa Monica (closed on Mondays).

'''Vancouver'''

If you attend a conference in Vancouver, I will help you get registration fees reimbursed.

You are expected to use your student travel pass for transportation UNLESS
you need to drive & park downtown for demo purposes.

--------------------------------------------
'''AFTER THE CONFERENCE'''
--------------------------------------------

1. File your reimbursement claim as soon as possible.

2. Make a photocopy of your claim form AND ESP. your receipts.

3. Turn it in as soon as possible.
