The first international CONTEXT user meeting will take place in Epen,
The Netherlands. The meeting will start on Friday March 23 at

is an excellent opportunity to learn some new tricks, meet fellow
users from the CONTEXT mailing list, talk to developers and hackers,
and promote your feature request list.

If you are not already using CONTEXT, this is the ideal place to
acquaint yourself with our beautiful macro package and meet your
potential new friends !

== Registration ==

Because the organizers like the intimacy of small meetings
- where not everything has to be pre-arranged and scheduled -
we have picked a location that can hold only about three dozen
participants. So, if you want to be sure there is place left,
you should *register now*!

To register, please fill in the registration form on the website

   http://context.aanhet.net/epen2007/

The base registration fee is 200 euro (spanning three nights and all
meals from dinner on friday to breakfast on monday). Discounts are
available for TeX user group members and for people that spend the
nights away from the conference location.


Hope to see you there!

Taco and Hans
