Summary
The
ASP's EPO Conference & 119th Annual Meeting took place at the
Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza, Chicago, IL September 5-7, 2007.
In support of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific's (ASP) mission
to increase the understanding and appreciation of astronomy, this
national conference will focus on building and supporting a vibrant
and connected community of individuals and groups engaged in educational
and public outreach (EPO) in the disciplines of astronomy, astrobiology,
space, and earth science.
Special
events at the Conference included the ASP Annual Awards Banquet,
a tour to Yerkes Observatory, and a special open house at the Adler
Planetarium.
Join
us in 2008 for the ASP's 120th Annual Conference & International
Year of Astronomy Symposium to be held in conjunction with the AAS
Summer Meeting, June 1-5 in St. Louis, Missouri.

NEW
in 2007 - Published Conference Proceedings
This year the ASP will publish the conference
proceedings, edited by Catharine D. Garmany and Michael G. Gibbs.
This is an opportunity for all accepted workshop and poster presentations
to be published in the official ASP conference series (both print
and e-access). The cost of the proceedings (both print and e-access)
is built into the registration fee for all attendees. Non-attendees
may purchase copies/access when it is published though the normal
ASP Conference Series process.
Because most presentations at this conference are not given in the
traditional "paper presentation" format and are interactive,
authors are asked to summarize their interactive session in a way
that best provides an overall feel and description of the activity.
Sessions that include gathering audience feedback are encouraged
to designate an individual to serve as a "reporter," therefore
allowing the discussion to be included in the revised manuscript.
Both LaTeX and Word documents will be accepted.
Full instructions for authors will be provided to all successful
applicants for sessions and posters. All submissions must be received
prior to the conference (strict deadline of Tuesday, September 4,
2007).
Questions can be addressed to ASPconference2007@noao.edu
