[Sigia-l] IA Summit 06-- Registration is open

[Peter Merholz]

And now a plug for the IA Institute.

If you join the IA Institute (http://iainstitute.org/), you can get  
register for the "member" rate at the IA Summit, which is $125 less  
than the nonmember rate.

And since membership to the Institute is at most $40/year (we have a  
variety of plans), you're seeing hard financial benefits immediately!
