[Adass-announce] Final announcement for ADASS XXVIII, 11-15 November 2018, Maryland USA

[Nuria Lorente]

Dear Colleagues,

A reminder that the Early Registration for ADASS XVIII is this coming Sunday, 30-Sep-2018.
You may still register after this deadline but at an increased cost.
Also this Sunday is the deadline for requesting a Demo Booth.

If you would like to submit a poster abstract and have not yet done so please register your poster before 8-October-2018. Be aware that poster space is limited to around 150 so we’ll have to stop accepting new abstracts once we hit that cap. The sooner you submit your abstract the better the chance you’ll have of it being accepted.


For more details on all aspects of the conference please go to http://adass2018.umd.edu<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/YPm4C71R63CmlgwrCWsRXz?domain=adass2018.umd.edu>
