Greetings!
We have lots of news for you about ALMA's winter 2007 symposium. Most
importantly, the early bird (discounted rate) attendee deadline is
Wednesday Nov 15th. Register immediately to take advantage of reduced
rates! We also have a limited number of tabletop exhibit spaces still
available so if you are thinking about taking one, sign up now. In this
update we also announce our technical papers and invite you to submit a
proposal for a tutorial session.

Call for Tutorials |
 |
There are several tutorial slots available at the Winter Symposium.
These give companies a chance to present their products to a highly
focused technical audience. Although tutorial sessions may discuss your
product or its application, they should contain some educational content
and be appropriate to a broad cross-section of our attendees. To be
considered for a tutorial session, please email us a short abstract
outlining your presentation.
