The Board of Directors of Warpstock Corporation is pleased to announce that Warpstock 2009 will be held Friday through Sunday noon, August 7th - 9th, at the University of New Mexico campus in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We hope to have cost details shortly and open Warpstock 2009 for registration.

The Warpstock Speaker Committee has come up with a series of session tracks for this year's event to help make presentation selection easier for attendees. To give us some kind of idea as to which tracks prospective attendees might prefer, we have put up a new poll on the Warpstock homepage. Please cast your vote!

Have you registered for Warpstock 2008 yet?

Oops! Missed the July 15 deadline?

The Board of Directors has considered that there were many changes in this year's locations and the change in policies for booking this location. We realize that some individuals may not have realized that early commitment was needed. To accommodate this, we have made special arrangements to extend the registration deadline by 10 days. July 25th is now the cutoff date after the extension. Because of the need to advance book the accommodation and meals, there can be no further extension to this date.

Warpstock 2008 open for registration
