USCOTS is now only a few weeks away with a terrific program built around the "Show Me the Data!" theme (https://www.causeweb.org/cause/uscots/uscots17). If you haven't yet registered, now is the time to do that.  If you've registered but haven't yet booked your hotel room or booked your flight, now is the time to do that.  If you've registered and are all set with your travel arrangements but haven't yet signed up for one or two of our fifteen pre-conference workshops, now is the time to do that.  
If you haven't registered and figure you'll attend next year's conference, now is NOT the time for that.  USCOTS only comes around every two years.
