Finally, we selected the dates and the auditorium for the XLDB-2012 event! It took us significantly longer than we expected, but the very good news is that we managed to secure the best (in our opinion) auditorium we could find on the entire Stanford Campus. It is brand new, and can seat up to 600 attendees which means we will probably avoid running out of space as we always did in the past.
So, the XLDB conference will be held on September 11 and 12 (Tuesday/Wednesday), in CEMEX auditorium. For now, just save the dates. Registration will open in early May.
As to the tutorials, I already received 7 nice proposals, so it is more or less certain that we will have a tutorial day on September 10 (Monday). We are planning to hold the tutorials at SLAC.
As each year, we will have an invitational workshop, on September 13 (Thursday), most likely on Stanford Campus in one of the conference rooms near the CEMEX auditorium.
We expect to organize reception and informal dinner combined with demos on Tuesday, the 11th. Stay tuned for more details.
Best,
Jacek Becla
