Registration set to open

Registration for the June meeting in Bar Harbor is set to open. Details will be posted online as soon as we update information with UMaine Conference Services (who are taking care of registration).

We are pleased to receive financial support from the National Science Foundation, helping lower registration costs for all participants; pay registration costs for plenary speakers, targeted session organizers, and working group leaders; and support the travel costs of plenary speakers. This very generous support makes it much easier for us to hold this meeting, and we thank the National Science Foundation! Registration costs for participants will be $425.

We are also happy to announce that the American Physical Society is helping us lower registration costs for graduate students to attend the meeting. Through the combined support of the NSF and APS, graduate students will pay only $125 for their registration costs.

UPDATE: To support more graduate students than in past years, we have changed graduate student registration to $175, allowing 12 rather than 10 students to attend the meeting at a lowered rate.
