Thanks to everybody who has registered already. If you have already
registered for the conference, you should soon receive an email
confirming your registration and reminding you to submit your
abstracts and images. I have extended the deadline so you can
register through the weekend, and even next Monday if you're a truly
spectacular procrastinator.

So, now through next Monday, 26 April, you can register for the
conference online:
https://www.calacademy.org/register/astroviz/

Monday, 26 April, is also the deadline for abstracts! If you have
registered but not submitted your abstract(s), please log in to add
your abstract(s) and your personal image as soon as possible.

When you register, you will be assigned an alphanumeric registration
code, which you can use to log in at a later date to add an abstract
(or two or three) or an image or change any of your data. (N.B. that
the registration code was easy to miss on the original design of the
web page; we're changing that to make it easier. If you can't find
your registration code, please email me and I'll forward it to you.)

As far as those abstracts and images go...

If you'd like to give a talk, then you will need to upload a Word
document (ugh) or PDF or, heck, even a LaTeX file for all I care --
really whatever format file you want (a PNG with text, for example,
would be accepted by the site if not appreciated by the workshop
organizer). There's even a checkbox available for A/V requests
(including planetarium, stereoscopic theater, and so forth). There's
plenty of time in the schedule for general presentations, but not much
space left for talks in the planetarium or 3D theater, so email me in
advance if you're interested in an exotic venue.

You'll also be asked (a la Image+Meaning and Astro-Viz '06) to supply
an image for your badge. Your image should be 4-by-3 aspect ratio,
and it will be printed approximately 2-by-1.5 inches. You decide the
DPI. You should select an image that represents your personality,
your work, or even better, a challenge in visualization or
communication that you'd like to discuss.

Again, the cost of registration will be $100.00, payable by credit
card (sorry, no PayPal). We plan to keep registration open through
12:01 a.m., Tuesday, 28 April. So register on Monday at the latest!

Thanks again for your patience. I look forward to seeing you very,
very, very soon.
