REMOTE PARTICIPATION:
For anyone who is unable to attend the ISO conference in
person this year, remote participation is once again possible via the
Calliflower Conference Call system we have been using for the past few years. Details
for participating remotely and Calliflower invitations will be sent out by ISO
before the conference.
IN-PERSON ATTENDEES:
Your
co-operation in returning conference registration forms and making hotel reservations
by the due dates will be appreciated. We have to commit to food orders which
become non-refundable once made, and the hotel is only holding rooms for us at
the special rate until the cut-off deadline!
Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible in
Toronto!
Yours in recovery,
Kevin
