FREE pass to CHI conference next week in San Diego, CA

[ECO]

I realized this completely slipped my mind but I have a free pass to the CHI Now-Generation Sequencing Conference that takes place in San Diego, CA, from March 17-19 (next week!).

I know it's late notice so I don't really have time to figure out a fun way to give it away...so the first person* who posts in this thread with a 100% assurance that they will utilize this pass will get it.

Forecast is mid 70s and sun. Did I mention the hotel is right on the beach?

*"person" is defined with one caveat. Academic trumps all.

Edit: Sorry i thought i could, but the air fair is going to bankrupt me..

I am interested in attending the conference. I am in San Diego so if I get the pass I will be sure to commit 100%.

[wangzkai]

By the way, what do you mean by "a free pass"? Have you already registered at the conference and would like to give your registration to someone else? Just want to clarify ...

Hey wangzkai,

It's all yours...just email admin@ with your (real) name and institute and I'll do the rest.

It's a proper "free pass" donated by the conference organizers in exchange for the banner ad you see above...not a transfer of my registration.

Edit: On second thought...unless somehow you're a postdoc...we'll let this stay open for a few more days...as your IP address resolves to a commercial institution.

That is fine. I am not a postdoc. But I remain interested in the free pass. Please let me know if I can have it.

Will do. If there isn't anyone else by Monday morning (let's do 8am PST), it's yours. Thanks for understanding.

10 hours left. Any southern california academic sequencing gurus interested?

It's all yours wangzkai...email admin@ with your real name and institute and I'll get things going.

Thanks all. Next time I'll give more notice.
