WFNMC Mini-Conference
WFNMC will hold a mini conference on Saturday 05 July 2008 in Monterrey. For those WFNMC members who wish to attend
there will be no registration charge. The only extra cost will be that of your hotel and meals for an extra day or so, if
you are attending ICME-11 (whose first day is Sunday 06 July).
This will also allow us to use our allotted ICME hours on official business and discussions, a program
for which will be released soon.
A preliminary programme is given below. In order to assist with planning we ask anyone intending
to attend to advise Maria. Formal registration is not otherwise intended.
Maria is also coordinating the WFNMC allocated hours during ICME-11 and a program for this is also
shown below.
