We also want to emphasize as strongly as we can that EARLY REGISTRATION is absolutely essential. No applicants will be accepted by the GRC after about 135 people have registered!!!! Contact the GRC office; phone (401)-783-4011 or -3372; fax (401)-783-7644; e-mail grc@grcmail.grc.uri.edu to obtain your registration forms. The GRC has streamlined the registration procedures. For example, they can take registration payments by FAX if you give your credit card number on their form, sign it, and FAX it back. We will also mail out some registration forms to people who are definitely attending, or to people who attended in 1994. However, it is best to get your materials yourself from the GRC people.
We plan mini- or ground-zero review for most sessions. These will be presented by the session chairs. The ground-zero reviews will involve overviews of the talks to follow in each session. The ground- zero reviews WILL NOT involve talks by the session chairs about their own work. The ground-zero reviews are intended to introduce each session for people in the audience who may not be familiar with the previous work in the area of the session.
We will also have two micro-reviews Monday evening and Wednesday evening to save time for the poster sessions to follow. In addition we will have commentators (about 5 minutes) following the sessions on Monday morning, Tuesday morning, and Wednesday evening. The purpose of the commentators is to present a summing up, as well as to indicate problems, or regions of work which should be exploited in the future.
Our Thusday evening speaker, after the banquet, will be Professor Ben Widom from Cornell University. This will really be a special treat for all of us. Professor Widom will tell us about developments in "CRITICAL PHENOMENA" from the past to the present.
Our mixer will be held Sunday afternoon starting roughly at 4:30 or 5:00 p.m. before the full dinner on Sunday evening. This year you will get a dinner, and not a mini-dinner, on Sunday evening. Gene Stanley and I hope to greet all of you in person at the mixer.
Adrian Parsegian is helping us with the reception, and he is also the first session chair, Sunday night. We could hardly have gotten a better person for both assignments. He has assured me that he will pick up the liquid refreshments for us on his way to the conference.
Remember, REGISTER SOON. We hope to see you in August.
