The conference is on!
We're happy to let you know that this year’s symposium will indeed be happening. Thanks to all of you who helped spread the word!
UPDATE — We've posted the tentative schedule on the Program Information page. In order for you to start planning your trip, Friday will involve a casual gathering/meal in the evening, and all presentations will be on Saturday, March 28th. There are a variety of events and sights in Tempe and the greater Phoenix area throughout the weekend, so we hope you’ll take advantage of the time here to see what the area has to offer as well.
In order to keep this year’s symposium reasonable in light of the recession, the symposium will be more casual, and we’ve lowered the registration fee to $50. More information on registration will be made available in the near future.
The conference will take place March 27th and 28th, 2009, at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. Learn more about Tempe.
We'd like to recognize several groups who helped make this conference possible. We are deeply grateful for their support and assistance.
