The conference will begin with lunch on 2 September and will close 
after lunch on 4 September. The Fee is GBP 280, inclusive of 
registration, accommodation and all meals (including the conference 
reception and formal dinner).  Further details, including the booking 
form, are available by following this link: 
http://www.socialsciences.manchester.ac.uk/disciplines/economics/events/hetc/.

In due course it is hoped that the conference papers will be 
available to download.  This facility will be password-protected and 
restricted to conference participants, who will be issued with a 
username and password on or after registration.

The number of conference places is strictly limited and will be 
allocated on a 'first-come-first-served' basis. Bookings should be 
made before August 1st.

I take this opportunity to thank the many colleagues who offered 
expressions of support for the conference.  The Call for Papers 
elicited a bountiful number of offers and it is with regret that many 
could not be accepted, even with the expedient of abandoning the 
traditional 'afternoon of rest' on the second day. However, past 
experience testifies that a successful conference depends greatly on 
the contributions of participants, and I hope that colleagues who 
could not be included on the programme will give serious thought to 
attending, and enhancing, what promises to be an enjoyable and 
intellectually stimulating event.
