Start your engines for Bethesda: STOC early reg deadline Apr 28

Aravind Srinivasan reminds us that the STOC early registration deadline is Apr 28 (only a week away!), so do go ahead and register.

Aravind also notes:

Especially given the current economic climate, ACM is concerned about
getting enough registrants and booked hotel rooms for STOC.

This is particularly pertinent for me because I've been having similar conversations with ACM about SoCG 2010: they are generally concerned about attendance based on data from conferences being organized right now, and have been tamping down attendance estimates as a result.
