The accepted proposal is Vancouver BC on Sept. 17-18, with Fort Collins CO as a backup. Thanks to Geoff Quickfall and Tim Wessman for offering to organize facilities, etc. This is not completely finalized, pending confirmation of hotel etc., but should be finalized within a few weeks, instead of only a few months before the conference. Some international attendees pointed out that the later the decision is finalized, the more they have to pay for travel.

If anyone has any iserious ssues with the choice of venue and date, by all means please let us know.

It is proposed that there be a nonrefundable advance registration fee, rather than the full fee being collected at the door, in order to facilitate better planning and setup. This year's conference registration fee was $60, which included 3 catered meals. The $60 fee did not fully cover this year's conference costs. It was suggested that the advance registration fee be around 50%, with the remainder collected on site.

In other HHC conference news, the attendees also voted to have a more even split of fully loaded vs. diet sodas as compared to past practice. :-)

I have got to start saving early. I've never been to Canada.
