interested in holding a workshop or associated event.
 
The Main Announcement and Registration Brochure will be available in
August 2007 - contact the VALA Conference Organisers' Office at
info at wsm.com.au if you would like to be added to the list to receive a
copy. Remember, you and your organisation will be able to get best value
for money by being full members of VALA and paying for your
registrations by 30 November 2007, so make your budget plans for the
rest of this year accordingly!
 
Call for Papers:
The place to keep up with progress in the planning for the Conference is
the VALA2008 Website at http://www.vala.org.au/conf2008.htm, and this is
also where you will find the Call for Papers. Check it out now and
submit an abstract online before 30 April. As you will see, VALA is
looking for papers on a wide range of subjects, so this could be your
opportunity to present your latest research or experience to the
delegates at VALA2008. Or if you know of other people who are doing work
that may be of interest, direct them to the Call for Papers too. And
there's a bonus: there is one discounted registration available per
paper accepted for presentation at the Conference.
 
Please feel free to pass this notice on to your colleagues.
