Deadline for ADASS 2010 BOSTON :
  Early registration
  Poster abstracts
  Demos
  Focus demos
================================


First: our apologies if you receive two copies of this email message -
it is going to the general ADASS Announcement email list as well as to
the list of people who have already registered.

Second: our apologies if you have asked in the past to be unsubscribed
from the Announcement list; those requests were diverted to a lost place.
But we promise that we will honor any future requests.


Deadline
--------
Most importantly, please note that the deadline for early registration,
for poster abstract submission, and for (focus) demo registration is
approaching:

	Wednesday, 15 September 2010

is the last day for these submissions and registrations.

After this date the registration fee will go up and we may not be able
to honor subsequent requests.


Things to do for those who are going to register or already have
