LatCrit XIV
promises to be a rich and memorable conference.  Over 145 panel and
work-in-porogress proposals were submitted.  We hope that many of you will
be able to join us.  Please note that September 14th is the
deadline both for conference early bird registration (at a discounted rate) as
well as for the early bird LatCrit hotel rate of $189, but that Labor Day,
September 7th
, is the deadline for an even lower "earlier bird"
room rates of $169 for Friday and Saturday and $179 for other nights –
significantly less than the hotel's standard room
rate.  Our room block is selling very swiftly, and the hotel may
sell out before these deadlines, so please do not delay in making your
reservations
.  Washington is hosting a number of large conferences around
the LatCrit XIV weekend and hotel rooms outside of our block may be scarce
and expensive.
