SCHEDULE ALERT:
Please note that CO3 is scheduled the week prior to Easter this year.
This may be problematic for some who would like to attend but have
obligations related to the holiday. We will be as accommodating as
possible when scheduling presentations - please let the conference
organizers know about any constraints that should be considered in
scheduling presentations you submit. We hope that the Easter
holiday may allow some to combine a trip to CO3 with a family trip for the holiday.
