Proposals!


Greetings bloggers!

We've received requests from people needing additional time to prepare their workshop proposals so we're extending the deadline to August 15. You can learn all about how to submit a proposal here. Put on your thinking caps and send us your best ideas.
It's that or you sit through Brian's three hour lecture entitled, "The History of a Paperclip," performed entirely in semaphore.

Sunday is the last day to pre-register!

We will be posting registration and accommodation information on Monday, which makes Sunday the last day to pre-register and get a $5.00 discount on the registration fee. If you've been hemming and hawing, now's the time to tell us you're coming and save a little moolah. You can still register after Sunday, but you'll pay full price.
