=================================================
The start of the 41th Institute is only two days away now and, as we prepare for that, we want to pass along a few news items we have received recently or need to broadcast.
Institute Opening Reception
The Heckerling Institute staff reminds everyone to attend the Complementary Reception for Registrants that will be held in the exhibition hall at the Marriott from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Monday evening. This is a don't miss function - plenty of food and lots of things to drink, plus a great place to meet and make friends with a lot of people.
