Dear colleague
First, please forgive us if you receive this mail several times.
The planning of the Communicating Astronomy with the Public 2007 (CAP =

2007) conference in Athens, Greece, 8 - 11 October 2007 is going really =

well. The main web site is: http://www.communicatingastronomy.org
We have a few things to pass on to you.

*Abstracts
*Over the past weeks we have received a number of very interesting =

abstracts. We however believe that we may have had a glitch with the =

abstract submission procedure, so if you have submitted an abstract =

please double-check if your title appears in the list below (unless it =

was submitted during the last hours). If your abstract is missing please =

mail it to the CAP2007 Conference LOC <cap2007 at academyofathens.gr>.
We will post the programme online over the next weeks.
*** Please note that the list of abstracts below only represents what we =

have received, and is not the final selection for the programme ***

*Accommodation *
The accommodation deadline is 15. July, but we encourage you to send the =

form as early as possible. The hotels are filling rapidly.

*Social events*
There is now a bit more information about the social events online at =

http://www.communicatingastronomy.org/cap2007/social.html
It looks like we will have some both productive and nice days in Greece!...

*Payment of registrations*
If you have not yet paid, please pay with credit card via the three =

buttons at bottom of:
http://www.communicatingastronomy.org/cap2007/registration.html
If you have no way to pay via credit card in advance, you may pay in =

cash on site in Athens directly to the LOC.

*List of participants*
If you have registered, please double-check if you are on the list of =

participants:
http://www.communicatingastronomy.org/cap2007/participants.html

If not, please send the registration form soon (we will have to cap the =

number of registering participants at 180):
http://www.communicatingastronomy.org/cap2007/registration.html

*Image exhibition*
We are hoping to be able to show 100 or more large stunning images of =

astronomical objects in one, or hopefully more, public spaces in Athens. =

We are open to more participants in this initiative. Read more at:
http://www.communicatingastronomy.org/cap2007/image_exh.html
Please mail lars at eso.org if you have images to provide and have not yet =

"signed up" for this exhibition initiative.

*Developing nations grants*
We have received several grant applications from developing nations and =

are happy to announce that we will be able to award free transportation, =

accommodation and registration to roughly seven participants.

Best regards, on behalf of the SOC and LOC,

Ian Robson
Dennis Crabtree
