Hi all. Here is a forwarded message about the International Lunar Conference in Italy in October: <a href="http://sci.esa.int/iceum9">http://sci.esa.int/iceum9</a>. Of special note is the Young Lunar Explorers group at the event --
<a href="http://www.lunarexplorers.net">http://www.lunarexplorers.net</a> -- with help from a few SEDS folks, Ryan Kobrick (CUSEDS), Melissa Battler (SEDS Canada), and Yuki Takahashi (Caltech SEDS). I attended the ILC in Toronto in 2005, and if you're available to attend this one, I recommend that you go.
