I mentioned this upcoming event earlier. The line up is set and it looks great. Again I wish I could attend and if they post papers somewhere online I'll link them up here when I find them. Take a look at the schedule and consider attending. I'm hoping that next year I have enough of my thesis written to justify presenting a paper there.
