The tentative program schedule for Animal Rights 2003 East has just
been posted at

Consequently, the discounted $140 registration deadline
for the DC area conference has been extended till Monday, May 26. After
that, the rate goes up to $160. The discounted registration deadline for
the AR2003 West conference follows on June 15. Please visit
