[apnic-talk] APRICOT 2009 drawing closer
Hi everyone,
Just a reminder that APRICOT 2009 is drawing closer. This year
APRICOT is hosted by ASTI, the Advanced Science and Technology
Institute, Department of Science and Technology, and is being held at
the Sofitel Plaza, Manila, Philippines. http://apricot2009.net.
If you are planning to attend APRICOT 2009 and you wish to take
advantage of the discounted registration fees, you need to register by
the close of business on Wednesday *21st* January. The registration URL
is http://apricot2009.net/registration.html. Registrations made after
the 21st will be charged a late fee.
Also, it is very important that you book your hotel as soon as
possible. The special rate we have negotiated with the Sofitel and
other local hotels will be subject to room availability after *19th*
January 2009 (depending on hotel). The URL for reserving
accommodation is http://apricot2009.net/accommodation.html.
The provisional programme for APRICOT 2009 is now available under
http://apricot2009.net/program.html. There are still a few speaking
slots available - http://apricot2009.net/call_for_papers.html has more
information. APRICOT itself will have a 90 minute session dedicated
to "Lightning Talks", submissions of short topical presentations
received during the conference itself. The call for Lightning Talk
content will go out to APRICOT participants at the start of the event.
I look forward to seeing you all in Manila next month.
Best wishes!
Philip Smith
