The MFPS XI Program and Registration Information is available.
In addition to the scientific program, the following activities will take place during the meeting. On Tuesday evening, March 28, registration will take place at the Ramada St. Charles Hotel 7pm to 9pm. There also will be a reception on the Tulane campus at the end of the first day's program. A conference dinner will take place on Friday evening, March 31, at which attendance is optional. This dinner will be held at one of New Orleans better restaurants. The fee for the dinner is $45 per person.
Participants will be housed at the Ramada St. Charles Hotel, which is located on St. Charles Avenue some 3 miles from the University. Travel between the hotel and the University can be made by the streetcar line which runs in front of the hotel. We have arranged for a block of rooms at the Ramada St. Charles at greatly reduced prices. To take advantage of these rates, participants must book their hotel reservations through us, and payment must be received by March 7, 1995. After that date, there is an additional $50 late registration fee, and the hotel room rates revert to their normal levels, plus a 13% local tax. Participants should be advised that on the weekend preceding MFPS, there are major medical conventions taking place in the city. As a result, hotel rooms cannot be secured before Tuesday, March 28, 1995.
The registration fee for the meeting is $175 ($90 for graduate students). This fee includes a continental breakfast at the meeting each morning, refreshments at the breaks between talks, and lunch each day of the meeting. The reception for participants at the close of the first day's session also is included. The registration fee also entitles each participant to a copy of the Proceedings of the conference, which will be distributed at the meeting.
