SBC-NC'08 - we have the venue!

i-77cb9830621cd0d12c254e60b30e9640-2008NCSBClogo200.pngMaking the second Science Blogging Conference even bigger and better, we are happy to announce that the January 19th, 2008 meeting will be hosted by Sigma Xi (publishers of American Scientist) in their gorgeous new building in the Research Triangle Park. Their conference facilities can house more people (225 as opposed to 170 we had last time) and provide more space for shmoozing between and after the sessions.

For those who arrive early, there will be Friday afternoon events, sessions and meals on or close to the UNC campus. We have tentatively secured two excellent session leaders so far and are negotiating with several others. Please check the program and help us build it by adding your ideas (edit the bottom portion of the wiki page or post a comment there). And we are still looking for sponsors - are you interested?
