Dear all
The final registration deadline for the 24th International Congress of
Science, Technology and Medicine (iCHSTM 2013) is MONDAY OF NEXT WEEK (1
July). We regret that the scale of the programme-management task means
that we cannot accept any registrations received after Monday.
Please note that, in order to ensure as accurate a programme as possible
for delegates, it will be necessary to remove any unregistered
participants from the programme before preparing the final version. If
you are identified as a paper presenter, commentator, chair or session
organiser, please register immediately to ensure your inclusion.

CONGRESS UPDATES
The Congress is now confirmed as the largest event in the field, with
well over 1600 participants involved in activities across a full week
from Sunday 21 to Sunday 28 July. The main academic programme is here:

and is supported by a huge range of satellite activities. In the
evenings, there will be receptions at the city's Town Hall and principal
museums; a formal Congress dinner at Old Trafford, home of Manchester
United Football Club (Saturday); a diverse and more informal "Fringe"
programme of music, comedy and social events; and a vigorous public
programme including the UK premiere of the Turing Machine Opera,
developed by Ooppera Skaala of Helsinki:

together with a huge (and still growing!) programme of guided tours,
visits and excursions:

presentations available as live online streams or media downloads, and
selected participants will be taking questions via Twitter or the iCHSTM
blog:
