Recent Advances in Digital Techniques Seminar and Workshop: Cape Town, South Africa - 27-28 November 2007 PLEASE RSVP by 31 August 2007. Registration is now open for the Recent Advances in Field Digital Techniques seminar and workshop. The seminar will be on 27 and the hands-on workshop will be on 28 November 2007. There are still a couple of openings for presentations on both the seminar and hands-on workshop days, so we'd like to get some feedback about programming. If you've been developing ways to integrate field and photo data digitally, but you're not sure you're ready to share them with others, please e-mail me and we can see if they'll fit in with the programs. Also, we had not planned to have presentations on digital photo matching because the matching programs are pretty specialized, but if there's interest, we may try to schedule some presentations. Please e-mail me if you'd like to see short presentations on the current state of photo-ID matching and we'll see if there's enough interest and time to fit them in. The cost for the seminar and workshop is ZAR 200 per person per day to cover the use of meeting room space, audiovisual equipment and two tea/coffee sessions. Participants must RSVP to <mailto:sally.mizroch@noaa.gov> sally.mizroch@noaa.gov by 31 August 2007, so that we can provide the conference conveners with an accurate count of participants to ensure the proper room size. The registration fee of ZAR 200 will be collected at the door on the day of the workshop. If you are unsure at this point whether you will have sufficient funding to attend the conference, but you are planning to attend, please RSVP and note "subject to available funding".
