LAST CALL FOR PREREGISTRATION

INTERNATIONAL CATEGORY THEORY MEETING (CT97)

July 13-19, 1997

University of British Columbia
Vancouver, Canada

The conference arrival day is Sunday July 13 with a reception 6-9pm in the
Fireplace Lounge of Walter Gage Towers on the UBC campus. The scientific 
program will begin Monday morning July 14 at 9am in Angus 104 and will finish 
on Saturday July 19 at the end of the morning session (12:30pm).

On Wednesday afternoon July 16 there will be a Vancouver city tour followed
by a dinner cruise with Harbour Ferries. Pickup time will be 2:30pm in
front of Gage Towers.  On Friday evening there will be a banquet starting
at 7:30PM.


PREREGISTRATION

If you plan to attend the conference and have not preregistered, or if
you would like more information to enable you to decide whether to
attend, then please preregister as soon as possible.

To preregister, and thus receive future announcements as well as a
registration form and a housing form please send e-mail to johnm@math.ubc.ca
with subject `preregistration'.  Please provide your name and a postal address
in the body of the message.

HOUSING DEADLINE

Accomodation is available on the U.B.C. campus in a block of rooms being held
for CT97 until June 13, one month before the starting date of the conference.
On June 13 all rooms from our block which have not been individually reserved
will be released to the public for reservation.  After this time one can still 
request space on an individual basis, but the outcome is less certain,
especially since a major music festival begins in Vancouver on July 18.


If you think that you may attend but are not sure yet, then you may find
it advisable to reserve a room since this can be done by email on the 
housing form and for the single rooms with shared washroom it does not
require a deposit.

If you have preregistered but have misplaced your room reservation form,
then please send email to johnm@math.ubc.ca with the subject Housing 
and a room reservation form will be sent to you.

TALK DEADLINE

If you wish to give a talk and have not yet informed the organizers, then
please let us know of your intention by May 31 by sending email to 
johnm@math.ubc.ca  including a title, if possible.  Abstracts should be sent
to stone@math.ubc.ca by June 10.

There may be parallel sessions on some afternoons.  The total number of
speakers may have to be limited as well.

PREREGISTRANT LIST

For your information a list of those who have preregistered as of May 16
is attached.  This list is presented roughly in the order in which 
preregistrations were received.  If your name is not on the list and
you would like it added, then please follow the procedure listed under
PREREGISTRATION above.

INTERNATIONAL CATEGORY THEORY MEETING (CT97)

July 13-19, 1997

University of British Columbia
Vancouver, Canada

The conference arrival day is Sunday July 13 with a reception 6-9pm in the
Fireplace Lounge of Walter Gage Towers on the UBC campus. The scientific 
program will begin Monday morning July 14 at 9am in Angus 104 and will finish 
on Saturday July 19 at the end of the morning session (12:30pm).

HOUSING

On June 13 all rooms from our block which have not been individually reserved
will be released to the public for reservation.  After that time rooms can be
reserved using the same reservation form anytime up until the start of the
conference, as long as space is available.  

If you need a housing form, then please send email to johnm@math.ubc.ca 
with the subject Housing and a room reservation form will be sent to you.
The completed form can then be sent by email to the housing office.

REGISTRATION

It is not too late to register for the conference.  In fact the organizers
will welcome registrations up until one week before the meeting.  To get
a registration form please send email to johnm@math.ubc.ca with subject
Registration.  If you decide to come, then it will be greatly appreciated 
if you register as soon as possible after deciding so that our space
requirements can be more accurately determined.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM

The number of speakers already appears to match the time available.  For
this reason it is unlikely that there will be time available on the program 
for those who have not already given the organizers a title or at least
indicated their wish for a space on the program.

A list of speakers will be sent out soon.

TRAVEL AND TOURS

The name and fax number of a Vancouver travel agent will be supplied
upon request to those who wish to book a hotel or tours locally.

by air, by automobile or by ferryboat contact the UBC Conference
