This is also the abstract submission deadline for ORAL consideration (for
Concurrent Sessions).  

After April 30, all submissions will be for POSTERS only.

 

Housing Reservations are open.  The McGill Residence is reserved for
graduate student and postdoc housing ($100 USD per night, single or double
occupancy including breakfast). The Hyatt Regency (conference site, $195
USD/night) is available to all attendees.  Those making reservations at the
Hyatt by the deadline of June 18, 2008 will be entered into a drawing for a
complimentary room upgrade.

 

Workshop Proposals are due by May 19, 2008.  6 slots for community-proposed
and organized workshops are available.  A brief application is required and
the conference committee will select up to 6 workshop proposals.

 

Conference t-shirts can be pre-ordered online.  The t-shirt design is shown
on the registration page.  Shirts will also be sold at the conference but
quantities may be limited; ordering during registration will guarantee the
color and size you want.

 

The meeting is being organized by members of the North American Arabidopsis
Steering Committee (NAASC) and local professors from McGill University.  We
look forward to seeing you all in Montreal this July!
