(Registration is $280, and the conference dinner in the Ponderosa Ballroom the evening of June 12 is $95.)   Best, Jess for the Dawn VII Local Organizing Committee  ------------------------------------------------- *We encourage you to register by May 8th   Event Location: UBC Scarfe & HEBB buildings
