Graduate students are encouraged to attend and the Association offers
certain subsidies for hotel, registration, and meals, including a
special graduate student dinner. The selections for the poster session
have already been made and the dissertation session deadlines have
passed. However, if you (=graduate student) want to attend with limited
subsidies, contact the Meetings Coordinator latest by July 5th.   
BOOK EXHIBIT:
We hope to welcome over 200 participants from around the world. We
invite you to contact your book publishers and encourage them to
participate in our tabletop book exhibit, or advertise in our printed
program or provide an insert for our registration packets. The Meetings
Coordinator and his staff will set up the book display so it is not
necessary for publishers to send representatives with special posters
and banners, although some will choose to do so to provide a more
comprehensive service to our members. The book exhibit is open during
the entire conference to all those in attendance. In the past it has
been often visited and a source of excitement when the books are
auctioned off at half (or less than) the list price. For further details
and the appropriate forms, see: http://ehameeting.com/book_exhibit
