Hello everyone,

Today is the last day to register online for Context 27; you can do that here:

http://www.contextsf.org/registration2.htm

You'll still be able to register for the convention and the workshops at the door, but if you're interested in taking one of the workshops, registering in advance is the best way to ensure that you get a seat. Furthermore, you'll save $10 on your full-weekend registration by registering today. Single-day registrations are available now and will be available at the door.

At-the-door registration will be open by 2pm on Friday; signs will be posted in the hotel directing you to the registration location. The first writing workshops start at 3pm.

When you register online, you will receive a confirmation from our staff later; there's no auto-response. Should their reply go astray, your PayPal receipt will be enough to confirm your registration.

You can find information about almost all of our program offerings here:

TRAVEL ALERT

As a note to all travelers, there's quite a bit of construction around the I-270/US23 interchange, which is just north of the hotel. Expect delays; lanes are closed, but the closings change from day to day, and even hour to hour. Also Saturday is an OSU home football game, so 270 and the nearby 315 will be busy before and after the game (kickoff is 6pm).

See you at the convention!
