Depends on whether you're a speaker or not, a student or not or early

Not yet.  The submission deadline is May 31 and we *definitely* want
to have a program up before the end of early bird registration (to
give some idea of timescales).

EP though, we had a guy from New Zealand a couple of years ago...
