Important information

The workshop is limited to about 35 people because of funding.  Please read the logistics below.  If you are going to the workshop and STOC in Victoria you must arrange your own transportation to Seattle and from Victoria (open jaw).  The trip from Seattle to Victoria is part of the workshop package, unless you opt out.   We will fly by chartered seaplane from Lake Union in Seattle to Victoria harbor, which is a short walk to the hotel. 

 

Be sure to post your preliminary ideas for a nugget to http://theorymatters.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Visioning.Nuggets or send to tcsvisions@gmail.com.
