We're coming up on the largest MW ever -- some of which we can credit to the great venue. San Francisco is a wonderful city, and there will be some great parties, at SFMoMA , the Westin St. Francis, The Exploratorium and the new de Young museum.

But we also have a very strong program. We're well into editorial review and production of more that 70 papers. Watch for announcements of their release on the conference web site.

Once again, we'll be an international group, with 23 countries represented so far.

• Australia
• Austria
• Belgium
• Canada
• Colombia
• Finland
• France
• Germany
• Israel
• Italy
• Japan
• Mexico
• New Zealand
• Norway
• Romania
• Scotland
• Spain
• Sweden
• Switzerland
• Taiwan
• The Netherlands
• United Kingdom
• USA

And that's without our last-minute crowd.

With luck we'll be able to add Mongola to that list; fingers crossed for timely visa processing.

See you in San Francisco!
