<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Catherine,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The link goes to Elizabeth Meschewski’s staff page, where her email and phone number can be found, but thank you to Maia for simply providing it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Registration will open in mid-February, and registration costs haven’t yet been set. However, based on what I know from last year’s conference, I would anticipate that full registration would cost somewhere around $100-150 for the two-day
conference, and that will include some meals. But that’s just an educated guess. Last year’s one-day conference was very reasonably priced, and included continental breakfast, buffet lunch, and a reception during the poster session.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your interest!<o:p></o:p></p>
