Financial support:
We are expecting support from the NSF. Providing we get the usual support for the conference, we will respect the usual inverse seniority basis. Priority in funding will be given to unsupported graduate students and post-docs. We hope that participants with grants and/or travel money from their home institution will use these to pay as much of their expenses as possible. (Hint: you can increase the probability of getting fully reimbursed for your lodging if you share a room with someone.) We will need original receipts. Also, for non-US-residents, we will need a photocopy of the picture and visa pages of your passport, and your I-94 (if applicable). Do not send these now - just be prepared to give them to us at the conference. Foreign participants must have a B-1 visa to get reimbursement; a B-2 visa or a tourist visa is not good enough. It is at the immigration officer's discretion at the point of US entry which visa (B-1 or B-2) the visitor will receive. You must insist on getting a B-1 visa! We are happy to provide you with a letter of invitation - please let us know if you need one. Note that all of the above applies to Canadians as well.
Accommodation:
The conference hotel is the The Guesthouse International Hotel, Long Beach. There is a block of rooms on reserve. Please mention the WCOAS to get the special rate. You can call directly at 562-597-1341 or see http://www.guesthouselb.com/.
