Schedule Change!

There has been a change to the schedule!

unfortunately, Dr. Rajam Ragunathan has fallen ill and will not be giving an address. As a result, we are moving Dr. Kathleen Higgins' talk to tomorrow afternoon beginning at 12:45 pm. There will be no address this evening.

Thanks!

Abstracts are up!

Aloha!

I've posted the abstract list in the Pages section. I look forward to meeting all of you, see you Thursday if not sooner!

Travel Award Recipients: Please bring your ID or Passport as well as your boarding pass (to show to our funding sources that you actually came. I know, it's pretty silly) to the opening dinner and talk on Thursday (5-8 pm).

Also, if you are using a powerpoint and haven't yet emailed it to me (or promised to put it on a drive), please do so.

For those that have arrived already, Welcome!

Dietary Preference

If you have a strict dietary preference, please inform us as soon as possible. I made arrangements for a vegetarian option for the provided meals, but it's one of those things where we implore omnivorous guests to go with the meat option. I suppose that's what we get for choosing a restaurant specializing in house-dried, local, happy meats....

Here is the website for the restaurant we chose:
http://salthonolulu.com/

You can find the menu over in the Pages section!

WIFI = nope, not necessarily

Hi there!

Just a heads up:

There is no reliable Wifi within the walls of the Imin Conference Center, so if you have your presentation on dropbox or google docs or something similar, you will need to download it beforehand. In fact, I'm requesting that you either email it to me or put it on a drive and we can load it onto the designated conference computer!

There is also a dearth of WIFI connectivity at Lincoln Hall/Hale Manoa. However, there are Ethernet hookups. It's advisable that you bring your own cord, if you have one, because they are $5 to rent and they are not in the best shape...

We're looking forward to meeting you all next week!

Syd & Matt

UPDATE: I've been informed that some have had good luck with the Ethernet cords, so there you go.

Send Those Abstracts!

Hello there!

Iʻm putting together the abstract list, so if you havenʻt sent yours yet, you have weekend homework! :) I just got the menu from the caterer and it looks fabulous!

Speaking of catering, if you are bringing someone along who will be joining us for the opening reception dinner, please let me know asap.

Only 2 more weeks to go!
