Apologies, but basically the conference hotel messed up its reservation system. If you booked a room already, you should call the hotel and confirm that you have the correct (reduced) rate. Otherwise, http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/denaf?groupCode=mpempea&app=resvlink&fromDate=2/6/13&toDate=2/9/13 should work (hopefully). If you have any more problems, please contact us.

The conference is full, and registration is now closed. We will have emails out to speakers, posters, travel fellowships, and other attendees shortly.

We are finalizing the program, but expect that we will be able to meet everyone’s requests. Looking forward to seeing you all soon. David Pollock

Just a reminder, the registration deadline is coming up! This Saturday (December 15). We’re going to make speaking decisions shortly afterwards, so be sure to get your abstracts in at that time as well for full consideration.   Share this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Clic

I am thinking of making a group dinner reservation on Saturday night for those interested and still in town. Please contact David Pollock (dpollock@proteinevolution.org) if you are interested. Preferences for type of food? Would you prefer close to the hotel, or downtown Denver?   Share this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to
