Things are moving so fast these days that we’ll probably want to send these News Bulletins out every several days. If you would rather not receive these e-mails, let us know and we’ll take your name off the mailing list.

Workshops
A few of the workshop leaders at HNA 2017 have asked that the number of participants be limited. With well over 100 registrants so far, demand is likely to exceed supply. Where we can, we are scheduling additional sessions, but this is not possible in all cases. Accordingly, in a future News Bulletin we will list the workshops with limited participation and invite conference registrants to sign-up for the workshops via e-mail. To be fair to all, we will accept the bids with the earliest time-date stamps, and we will set up an alternates list if necessary.
