The Conference is being hosted by the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory and the University of Victoria. Additional sponsors include the National Optical Astronomy Observatories, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, and the Space Telescope Science Institute. The ADASS Conference provides a forum for scientists and programmers concerned with algorithms, software, and software systems employed in the reduction and analysis of astronomical data. The Program Organizing Committee for ADASS '93 includes Carol Christian (Berkeley), Tim Cornwell (NRAO), Dennis Crabtree (DAO/CADC), Daniel Durand (DAO/CADC), Bob Hanisch (STScI), Rick Harnden (SAO), Doug Rabin (NOAO), Dick Shaw (STScI), Doug Tody (NOAO), and Diana Worrall (SAO). This year's Conference will highlight the following special topics: Surveys and Catalogs, Multiwavelength Analysis, Networking and Distributed Computing, and Image and Spectral Analysis. A partial list of invited speakers for the Conference includes Robert Becker (U. of California, Davis), James Condon (NRAO, Charlottesville), Jim Fullton (Clearinghouse for Networked Information Discovery and Retrieval), Joseph Hardin (National Center for Supercomputing Applications), Stephen Kent (Fermi National Accelerator Lab.), Gerard Kriss (The Johns Hopkins U.), Rick Perley (NRAO, Socorro), and Belinda Wilkes (SAO). A Preliminary Announcement for ADASS '93 was sent by electronic mail to the Conference mailing list in early April. A more detailed announcement, which will include information on hotels, registration, abstracts, etc., will be made available in mid-May, again through electronic mail to the Conference mailing list. The Proceedings of the Conference will be published as part of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific Conference Series.
