[Socbin] Conference registrations - Warsaw 24-27 April 2008

[Janusz M. Bujnicki]

Hi,

Thanks for letting me know. I am surprised that you did not get the 
information, I have set it to the SocBiN list, Witek has been sending it 
out to all bioinformatics emails he could find, and I asked all PC 
members to send it to all people they know.

Witek will send you the last version of the poster. For the time being 
please check out the conference website (URL in the previous email).

I will definitely support your request to extend the abstract submission 
deadline until April 1st. This, however, is up to the chair of the Local 
Committee.... (Witold Rudnicki). However, I am not sure if he will be 
willing to extend the early registration time. We might have to start 
charging higher registration fee after March 24, as indicated earlier. 
But in my opinion also the regular (late) fee is also quite low.

Best,
Janusz

Here in Sweden - and other Scandinavian countries - many ar already off for Easter vacation and will not get your message before March 25 - ie after deadline for registration. I myself will not be able to get OK to go before Tuesday.
