 "From Spitzer to Herschel and Beyond" will be a forum for the long-
 wavelength astrophysics community to explore scientific questions
 and technical capabilities of the next two decades. Because far-IR
 observations require novel detector and instrument architecture as
 well as cryogenic space observatories, substantial technical effort is
 required for new scientific discoveries. The purpose of this conference
 is to bring together astrophysicists and technology experts to take
 stock of recent progress and plan for the future.

 Now is the time to mark your calendar and plan to attend this exciting
 conference! Registration and abstract submission are currently open.
 Abstract deadline is April 30. Registration deadline is May 14.

 More information, including a draft agenda, is available on the
 conference web site listed above.  We will add more information as it
 becomes available, so please check back frequently.

 We hope to see you in Pasadena!
