Bora has the latest on ScienceOnline2010:
The main event - the actual sessions of the conference - will be held, like last two years, in the beautiful building of Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society (and publisher of American Scientist). The main conference program will occur on Saturday, January 16th and half of Sunday, January 17th, 2010.
And as for the registration process:
Registration will be capped at 250 participants. Even this number will make Sigma Xi start bursting at the seams but if everyone's in a good mood, we'll be fine. So far, about double that number has showed interest in coming to the conference so there will be feisty competition for those 250 slots, we expect.Thus, we will make sure that speakers/moderators/panelists/presenters get registered first. We will open for registration later than last year (late October) when people have a better idea if they can truly come or not. We will have the Program pretty much set up and public by then so you can see exactly what you can expect. And we will ask for a small registration fee (graded according to employment status or something) to ensure that only dedicated travelers and local participants actually register (i.e., nobody registers and then does not show up, leaving serious contenders on the waiting list).
Sign up here for advance notice on further conference updates, and pester the organizers with programme suggestions. When last I asked, there was some interest in a session or a discussion of how to use the Web for teaching mathematics, and I've also heard talk from people who want to integrate programming and modelling into science education.
Go forth and prepare to conference!
