To Submit an Abstract

An abstract describing the precise topic treated with a length of approximately 200–300 words must be submitted to the convener as an electronic version (pdf and MS Word document). The deadline for submission is November 15, 2011. Participants must also register in order to take part in the conference. Prospective conference participants may submit their abstract in one of three ways: Online Registration, Registration by Email, and Registration via Post.

Registration costs $75 dollars ($45 dollars for students, retired faculty, and those from soft-currency countries). Registration may be made at any point up to the time of the conference, but early registrations are eligible for a reduced price of $60 ($30 dollars for students and those from soft-currency countries). Registration must be made on or before January 20th, 2012, in order to qualify for the reduced price. No registration will be considered complete until we receive your check or money order, payable to Charles Haberl.
