    Please note the complete list of invited plenary speakers, and that the Scientific Organizing Committee will be selecting an additional 36 speakers to deliver short talks based on contributed abstracts.

    The deadline for submission of abstracts is April 25, 2010.

    The generosity of several external sponsors has recently created the opportunity to support the participation of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in the meeting. The conference organizers are please to make available 15 travel bursaries each valued at $500 (CDN).

Attendees should also note that they have the option to stay at the Banff Centre before and after the conference at preferred rates.
