The AAWE Workshop Committee is pleased to announce that we have fixed the place and time for our Workshop in August this year. The presentations will be held during the days of the Thursday and Friday, 21 and 22, August 2008 at the Vail Marriott in Vail, Colorado. This is a very attractive location for us to meet next summer. Attendees will drive or fly to Vail. Those that fly may come via Denver International Airport and then use the road shuttle or rental car to travel up I-70 to Vail. Alternatively, some destinations (e.g. Chicago and Dallas) have flights direct to the local Eagle Airport. We expect many people will bring their spouses and lengthen their visit beyond the two days of the Workshop. Summer activities in Vail include mountain biking, hiking, rafting, horseback riding, llama trekking, ballooning, shopping, full spa services in the hotel and fine dining around the town. The famous Pepe's is available for a sports-bar meal, while a world class dinning experience may be had at restaurants like Le Tour.

Thirty (30) rooms at the rate of $149 per night have been secured by AAWE. This rate applies to rooms with one king bed or rooms with two double beds. Thus, students should nominate the latter when they book and so share a room to reduce costs. The hotel is happy to allow students to do this at no additional cost. Those with a spouse should nominate a single king bed so that there plenty of two-bed rooms to be used by students. Since this is the low season in Vail more rooms are likely to be available. Of course, attendees are also welcome to explore other hotels in the area.

The foyer area has free wi-fi Internet access for anyone who brings their laptops. There is a fee in the rooms, but it is free in the public foyer and bar spaces. If attendees drive to Vail, there is free parking in a public parking structure nearby. If attendees wish to park at the hotel itself there is a fee of about $15 per night.

A call for papers will be issued soon and we are expecting good technical papers from researchers and commercial groups, and it will be a fine opportunity for graduate students to present there research in a small congenial environment - without too much heckling! This will provide them with possible guidance for their future work and keep everyone else up to speed on what is happening in our field. We hope to have thre keynote speakers (one each morning and one at the dinner) who will provide longer, interesting, overviews of topics that will particularly benefit AAWE members from industry and students just commencing their studies. Financial assistance for travel and accomodation, in the form of an applied for grant, will be available. In the meantime, mark your calendars for and educational and fun end of summer in the Rockies!
