If you aren't happy with your departure date please post a note here. There is room for up to 7 people in each of the vans, so we can do a bit of shuffling of places if necessary. (Zephyr and Clarence - since you are SVing let me know if you want to go on Friday instead)

The following costs will be covered for the UBC students funded by NECTAR to attend the conference (the 10 people listed in the table below starting with Garth and ending with Clarence).

   * Conference registration (if you are not a Student Volunteer) at the early student rate of $195 US.

   * Hotel for Nov 3-7 at Banff Y Mountain Lodge --  number of nights depends on whether you are in a workshop. These will be the shared rooms that Karen has reserved. Specifically, if you are attending a workshop, arriving Friday Nov 3 is OK, but if you are not attending a workshop, Saturday Nov 4 is the first night of hotel you get unless you need to go early to fill up a car.

   * Three nights (Nov 8-10) at the Banff Centre with meals staring with dinner on Nov 8 through lunch on Nov 9 (maybe only through breakfast on Nov 9). These will be arranged for us by NECTAR once I send in the list of students attending the AGM. The third night is to allow everyone to drive back on Saturday instead of Friday.

   * All costs of the rental car, including gas.

   * $100 allowance for meals claimed as a per diem. Additional meals during the conference or on the road are NOT covered. There is a conference banquet and probably at least one reception that is an equivalent-to-dinner event, and coffee breaks in the morning are a light breakfast. There should be more than enough food while we are at the Banff Centre. The $100 subsidizes the cost of your additional meals.

Hardcopy of the proceedings is is apparently bundled into the registration. You can get just a CD version of the proceedings and save $60 US. This is optional. If you don't want the proceedings, save us the money and get just the CD, but get the "free" hardcopy if you will use it.

You should register for the conference and ask Juliet O'Keefe to reimburse you the $195 US registration fee. If you prefer to be reimbursed in CDN funds, you can give her a copy of your credit card bill (or on-line statement) that shows the converted amount, otherwise UBC will compute the exchange rate.

After the conference Juliet will process reimbursement for hotel and the rental cars as soon as you provide her with receipts.

Be sure to register prior to the October 6 registration deadline.
