I should point out that conference organizers will look at the budget 
and total sponsorship levels on Monday, November 28, to set the 
conference registration fee. Our current level of support is lower than

help us keep the registration fee low. ***

Rest assured, we will keep registration as low as possible, but need to 
balance that intention with fiscal responsibility.
