Registration

The symposium is free and open to the public, but since a capacity audience is expected, pre-registration will be required for admission. Pre-registration will become available on September 7, 2010, and must be made online from this page. Pre-registration will be accepted on a first-come first-served basis until all available seats are reserved. It is highly unlikely that any seats will be available at the door without pre-registration.

Nonlocal symposium attendees should make their own lodging arrangements.

Just looked at the schedule, wow, it looks really interesting. Seriously in-depth cultural discussion and analysis on MJ, I never thought it'd happen like this. Unfortunately I live in Ireland atm. Fantastic :/
 
Looks interesting...If allowed, would be great if someone could record this and upload it for all to see :)
 
I would really consider going. This is my kind of thing. Very very interesting. Thank you very much for posting.
 
Hi Maria, et al,

Unfortunately, the symposium registration is closed. There are no more seats available. :doh: I was going to register today as I was planning on going. I am going to the Friday night presentation which you can attend for 20.00 (USA). I'm going with my sister, so I'm happy that I can at least attend this session. :yes: Thank you for posting about this though. It looks very interesting. I'm going to still try to attend. Hopefully tickets will somehow be available. They suggested to follow them on Twitter and look for announcements on ticket availability.

7:30–9:30 p.m.
