OBTC 2008 - Where are we now?

The Program is fully scheduled. It will be opened soon after presenters receive an e-mail giving them the day and time of their session. This will go out starting next Monday. Plenary and Showcase events are nearly set. As soon as they are, we will add them to the Program and let people know about our special guests. I must say that it was very hard to let many colleagues know that we reached our upper limit for sessions, even though many we had to reject were favorably reviewed. These were mainly those submitted after our early-decision deadline of December 7 and before we closed accepting proposals on January 15th. We had over 220 submissions and are going with 150 sessions. OBTC 2009 with be at the College of Charleston, in Charleson, South Carolina. I hope those who were not invited this year will submit for next year.
