The conference schedule is up at the Rising Tide wiki. I’ve also deep-cleaned the wiki to highlight items useful to our attendees. Note that a registration form (with a suggested donation) will be up at the Rising Tide website by this Friday – PLEASE register at the site so that we have an approximate headcount for the venue, catering, etc.
We have altered the schedule so that there is only one day of talks and panel discussions, i.e. Saturday. (You may thank us later.) Friday and Sunday will be spent getting to know one another, taking part in recovery work or selected Katrina commemoration activities around town.
Saturday’s schedule is full and SO EXCITING!
