BHC Meeting Deadlines Are Coming Up

A gentle reminder that the deadline for online registration at the upcoming BHC annual meeting in Baltimore, Maryland, is March 25, 2018. Those who register in person will pay a surcharge; moreover, meal availability cannot be guaranteed.
     The deadline for hotel reservations at the group rate is March 3, 2018. Neither rooms nor the discount rate may be available after that time.
     Presenters are reminded to submit an abstract (required) of their paper and the paper itself (encouraged) in advance of the meeting; both tasks can be accomplished via the meeting website.
     Finally, authors and journal editors who would like their new and recent publications displayed at the book and journal exhibit are encouraged to check with their publishers; please direct publishers to our information sheet, which will provide all the necessary information.
     For information about all these topics and more, please consult the BHC meeting website.
