This is the second call for presentations, and an update on the location. Pecha Kucha is happening this WEDNESDAY (not any other day, as some people seem to believe), 10pm, in the Sala Thai Ballroom. Drinks BYO (unless you are presenting, then drinks will be provided!). We still have slots available!
