Please return the registration form with your check as soon as possible so that we can get a good count of the number of attendees for meals, bus tour, etc. Please also note that everyone who participates in meals, activities, tours or lectures must be appropriately registered; this policy will assure that the conference is self-supporting and that everyone is helping fairly to cover the cost of putting it together. [For information on how to pay using PayPal or Pounds Sterling, contact Fred Sawyer at nass-president@sundials.org].

The conference will be held at the Crowne Plaza St. Louis – Clayton hotel (7750 Carondelet Avenue, St. Louis MO 63105 For reservations: 888-303-1746 or http://www.cpclayton.com/). We have a block of rooms set aside for the special conference rate of $109/night (queen bed), $125/night (king or 2 double beds), or $139/night (executive tower room). See the hotel’s website to learn about the available amenities. The hotel offers complimentary shuttle transportation to and from the airport, which is 15 minutes away. You must make your reservations by July 1.

Our registration event with an array of door prizes will take place from 4:30-6:00 on Thursday Aug. 7th. The conference talks will be on Saturday the 9th and Sunday morning the 10th. There may still be room for one or two more lectures. If you would like to do a presentation 20-25 minutes in length, please contact Fred Sawyer (fwsawyer@aya.yale.edu) right away. If you would prefer to do a brief 5-10 minute presentation on your favorite dialing project, question or story, please let us know now (in advance of the conference!) so that we can schedule appropriately. If you have sundials, photos, books, etc. that you would like to display, please let us know so that we can arrange to have some table space available. We will try to allocate ˝ table per display. We will have plenty of display space – in the room where our meetings will be held. Plan to bring your projects to show – and set them up on Thursday during registration.

Don Snyder, our local host, has prepared a tour of St. Louis sundials for Friday the 8th. We have uncovered a couple old dials that will require security clearance for us to see them (as was the case at NIST last year). One of these dials has its own complete suit of armor to protect it! We also hope to be able to show you a forgotten Presidential Sundial – recently rediscovered by Don in the inventory of the Missouri Historical Society. This is a dial that can be traced back to a sale of Thomas Jefferson’s estate following his death. We have arranged for it to be displayed in conjunction with NASS’ arrival. We will also see as many as 5 sundials at the Missouri Botanical Gardens – including a reproduction Ottoman sundial designed by Roger Bailey for a new garden, a Schmoyer dial donated by Don and finished by Bill Gottesman, and a new sundial with analemmic hourlines to be donated by Ron Rinehart and dedicated at the garden as part of the NASS tour. The tour will include several other dials, including a monumental Korean War Monument dial, and a number of vertical dials.

We have two registration plans. Select a registration option for each conference attendee. Note that meals on the Partial Option are only Thursday Reception refreshments, Friday Tour Lunch, and Saturday Dinner; the Partial Option does not include admission to the general sessions.
