Conference Update
Hi All
Sent out draft programme today. Hopefully it will all be sorted in a few weeks.
We are setting up a discussion list ... Rebecca Beirne has organised it. I must admit to having dropped the ball on this one. But will try and get it up and running soon.
Vibe hotel is sorting out THEIR it problems and soon you should be able to register online. (I don't want to even tell you how many emails we've exchanged). If you're in Australia you can call them. But here's their ULR http://www.vibehotels.com.au/default.asp?page=/vibe-locations/sydney-hotels/vibe-hotel-sydney/hotel-facilities
Still working out the registration problems with pay pal. But if you can transfer money that's the easiest. For registration forms etc check out the conference website http://www.library.uq.edu.au/ipswich/popcaanz/index.html.
Cheers everyone...

AREA CHAIR Update
We have had quite a few international popular culture papers...anyone interested in taking this area on???
Also we need an area chair for internet--three interesting papers in that panel too.
Finally, because some folks have sent me abstracts AND abstracts to area chairs there could be some doubling in the programme--ie someone sent me an abstract and I've allocated them to FILM rather than say ROMANCE which they really wanted. I'm working hard to get a list of abstracts/delegates done. Will send this out by 21st December.
Can everyone PLEASE send me their panels and panel members asap (some of you already have)
Cheers
