This looks like being a great reconceptualizing conference. Here in Oslo we are getting ready for you all to be here. It looks like being quite a crowd. Some very exciting proposals have been accepted. We just hope everyone remembers to speak slowly and sometimes use easy words. English is not everyone’s first language. We look forward to hearing you and seeing you here in May. And by then the now bare trees will be covered in green leaves and the footpaths clear of ice.

Registrations are now being received and processed electronically. Deadline is April 15. For invoices it’s April 1. A number of people have already registered.
