Dear Colleagues,


Just a few brief items:

** There will be receptions on Thursday and Friday evenings: 

Thursday's sponsored by the University of Washington I-School, Center for Information and Society, and Department of Communication; 

Friday's sponsored by the Oxford Internet Institute.

** If there is sufficient interest, there will be brewery tours on Wednesday afternoon.


** Saturday's blow-out banquet will be at the Harley-Davidson Museum, be sure to register for this, as it is NOT INCLUDED in your registration fees.


** As noted in a previous message if you need the conference rate for any surrounding dates, please let me know and I can assist you. 


** There are no formal sessions planned for Sunday.


Things are moving along smoothly, and the line-up of speakers is fantastic. We are looking forward to welcoming you to Milwaukee in October. Please continue to check http://ir10.aoir.org/ for updates, and of course, contact me with any questions.


Best,
