Dear Colleague,
The 2006 SPSSI Convention will be held June 22-25, 2006, in Long Beach, CA, and is hosted by Claremont Graduate University, Claremont McKenna College, and Scripps College. All attendees (including all presenters) must register for the conference.
REGISTRATION
The deadline to register for the convention at reduced rates is May 22. We’ve worked to hold down costs for attendees, and we are pleased to announce that the SPSSI member registration rate will be the same as the 2004 convention. There are also daily rates if you can’t stay for the entire convention. New this year is a special student group rate for five or more students from the same institution. Registration information and forms can be found on the convention website, http://www.spssi.org/spssi_2006_Convention.html.

The convention will take place at the Hilton Long Beach & Executive Meeting Center; there, you will be less than a mile from the Pacific Ocean! A block of rooms is being held for the Society at a significantly reduced flat rate of $139. You must make your reservation by May 21 in order to take advantage of the special SPSSI rate.
