*The housing and board costs charged by the conference center are significantly more than the price we are charging.  We are able to run the weekend with minimal registration costs because of substantial support provided by the Goethe-Institut-Chicago along with other benefactors.

 

**We are charged a per person fee by the conference center for housing and board.  Thus we have to charge full registration fees even for those people not participating in the program.
