I'll be delivering two presentations -- PID Without a PhD, and Basic Control Theory for Software Engineers. More details at
This being the ESC, they've put the advanced class before the prerequisite -- oh well.

Just teach it in reverse and tell your students to push the material on their internal stacks and pop through later on when they get a chance. ;)

Best wishes to you, Tim. I had noticed you in the preliminary program.

Restraining order?
There are branch ones all over- Boston, Chicago, Shenzhen

Why do they always have the ESC in San Francisco? I can't go there, and wouldn't if I could. The Anaheim Convention center site would be a better choice! Or even Los Vegas!
They're afraid you'll come back with pink hair?

Allows most of Silicon Valley to attend... The silicon valleys in southern california, prefer to stay at the beach :-)

and
Company will not pay for anything in the SF area, they say it is too expensive. They will pay in Anaheim or LV! I've even been allowed to book in Phoenix and Denver (Gun Barrel, CO). Just NOT SF!
No other explanation!

Actually Silicon Valley is in north central California, (Bay area) and that is 357 miles north of the Irvine, CA company I work for. (Abt 600KM)
You going to the ESC?

So you can't go to New York, Boston, Chicago, and any other major city? I don't find San Francisco any more expensive than any of the above, in fact I think I usually pay less in San Fran. I usually use Expedia or Hotels.com or some other discount broker, and don't stay at the conference hotels ...

He's in Orange County. It's a miserly $39 each way via Southwest (Ontario San Jose or Oakland) with 14 day advance purchase.
Yup. Sounds like a rather Dilbertian policy.

You can, of course, read the material on my web site which covers the talks one way or another. Throwing rotten vegetables at your own computer screen is, however, much less satisfying than using them on a presenter.

If you think it's expensive to go to SF to see a conference, just try exhibiting at one...
Yes, it was. I wanted something that didn't include an intrinsic integrator, and I didn't want to spend days on a real thermal model.

Perhaps they should just not reimburse expenses for "room service".

Exactly.
We've done both SF and San Jose and San Jose was the worst.
Even though the contents of our booth fit in the back of our Subaru wagon, we still had to go to the "marshaling yard" across town, wait in line, have the vehicle weighted, get a pickup time tag, go back to the convention center and wait to be unloaded, drive the unloaded car back to the "marshaling yard", get it weighed unloaded and get a weight ticket, which BTW was at least 200 lbs higher than the actual weight of the booth. To add injury to insult, as I was driving off the scale, a piece of metal slashed and destroyed one of my tires.
Leaving, we just waited for the security guards to kick back and then sneaked everything out the front door.
By the time we did ESC at SF, we had gotten pretty good at sneaking the stuff in past the teamsters. The trick is to have one person in the vehicle, circling the venue. Another person meets the vehicle, gets an armload of stuff and carries it inside. Repeat until done.
Branson, MO a better choice. More central location. Better scenery. Less traffic. I'd only have to drive 1/2 hour ;)
(Sound of teeth grinding).
I can understand the need for unions in some industries, where employers can make things impossible for the working man.
But they sure are a good example of how power corrupts.

San Francisco is not necessarily more expensive than those other cities, if you avoid the big hotels downtown. One option is to find a hotel near CalTrain or Bart. These are the commuter rail services. You can walk from either to the convention center. I stay with family and do this several times a year. Don't rent a car, parking will kill you.
Air tickets are usually available at discount rates if you plan ahead. I pay from $200-$250 from Minneapolis.
If I wanted to go, I would predetermine hotels and travel options, and then talk to the powers that be.
