2008 Southern Spring Workshop
2008 Southern Spring Workshop has been cancelled.
Unfortunately, we have had to cancel our Spring Workshop. Registrations were far below what we needed to make a go of it. If you were registered, we will contact you directly to arrange a refund of your fees. If you had room reservations, please contact the hotel directly to cancel, as soon as possible.
If you did not register for the workshop, I'd like to know why not. Please take a moment to let me know how we can improve workshop attendance in the future - drop me a line at south@euspba.org. Thanks!
