European Common Lisp Meeting, Madrid, June 2, 2013

How often do you attend a small conference where attendees are building nuclear defense systems, running intensive care wards, designing aeroplane engines, analysing Lute tablature, developing cancer drugs, writing FIFA's legal contracts, and designing their own microchips? Surely this describes few tech events other than Arthur & Edi's European Common Lisp Meeting :-).

Arthur Lemmens and Edi Weitz are proud to announce the European Common Lisp Meeting 2013. The meeting will consist of a Sunday full of talks on June 2, 2013, with optional dinners on Saturday and Sunday evening.

The meeting itself as well as the (optional) Sunday dinner will be in Madrid on June 2 at the TRYP Ambassador. As usual, we'll also have a dinner on Saturday (June 1).

This year's ECLM will be co-located with the European Lisp Symposium. (We'd like to thank Juan José García-Ripoll for the local organization. His work for the meeting is made possible by his institute at CSIC and his employer, the Spanish Ministry of Economy.)

We'd also like to thank the ALU for sponsoring the ECLM 2013.

If you're interested in participating, we recommend that you subscribe to the ECLM mailing list by sending an email to eclm+subscribe@common-lisp.net.

Prices

The price for the actual meeting is 70 Euros. This includes your share of the rent we have to pay for the room, technical equipment, service, and so on. It also includes two coffee breaks.

If you want to stay for dinner after the meeting, that'll be another 70 Euros. The price for the Saturday dinner is - you've guessed it by now - 70 Euros. Details about the dinners to follow soon.

Lightning Talks

Like in the last years, we'll again have lightning talks. A lightning talk is like a normal talk except that it has to be very short - depending on the number of speakers it'll be limited to either five or ten minutes. If you're interested in giving a lightning talk, let us know.

Registration

63 registrations from 20 countries.

The registration process is described below. Please read all of this before you register. Thanks.

Go to the registration website and enter your data, then press the "Register" button. Make sure to use a valid email address - see next step.

Once you've done that, we will immediately send you an email with a password. If you don't receive it, check if it didn't get caught by some spam filter. If you're really sure you didn't receive an email, contact us.

Use the password from the previous step to log in at the registration website. This will finish your registration process.

You can now, optionally, change your data. The list on the website will show you how much you have to pay depending on what you've selected.

Use a bank transfer or PayPal to send the money. If you want to pay via bank transfer, use this information:

Bank: ING, Amstelplein 1, 1096 HA Amsterdam
BIC (SWIFT): INGBNL2A
IBAN: NL97 INGB 0005830593
Account holder: Stichting Common Lisp Foundation

If you want to pay via PayPal, use the link next to your name the registration website shows you when you're logged in. Note that PayPal prices are about 5% higher than the prices listed above. This is approximately what PayPal charges for the transfer.

In either case, bank or PayPal, make sure that we can identify you as the sender of the money. Provide your full name and the email address you registered with.

Once the money has arrived, we will mark your entry as confirmed in the list of registered users. Please expect this to take three or four workdays (or maybe even longer, depending on where you sent the money from). No need to get nervous earlier than that... :)

While you're waiting for your confirmation, subscribe to the ECLM mailing list by sending an email to eclm+subscribe@common-lisp.net.

Due to our experiences from previous ECLMs, we don't offer the option to pay cash at the meeting anymore. In other words, you can only come to the meeting if your registration has been confirmed (see above) by us. It's not enough to just be registered!

We reserve the right to delete reservations that weren't confirmed within a reasonable amount of time.

The deadline for registrations is May 15, 2013.

We're looking forward to meeting you in Madrid,
Arthur Lemmens & Edi Weitz
