Hello, AoIR members, past members, and members yet to join! Some of you have already heard from me through another email, but just wanted to remind you that the deadline for IR13.0 earlybird registration--September 1--is fast approaching. For those of you who share my academic schedule, and are in the midst of early semester tribulations, it can easily sneak up on you. This is particularly important, of course, for those of you who are presenting papers or on panels in Salford, as we need to see you registered to finalize the program. But it is also important for those of you who will be participating in the conference without delivering a talk, panel, or roundtable, and want to pay the lower earlybird rate. Way back in the wayback days of IR, we had a roommate finder on the wiki. Just in case, I've started blank pages for those in search of roommates or with hotel rooms they are looking to share. Also did the same for pub/restaurant/etc meetups: http://wiki.aoir.org/page/IR13.0_Roommate_Finder http://wiki.aoir.org/page/IR13.0_Pub_Finder If you *don't* have hotel reservations, I strongly recommend you get them, I've heard that space is becoming a premium.
