Last week we listed a number of upcoming seminars and conferences of interest to reformers, online at http://www.drcnet.org/wol/076.html#seminars and http://www.drcnet.org/wol/076.html#conferences in last week's archive of The Week Online. Since last week, we've learned that this year's North American Syringe Exchange Convention, scheduled for this April in Chicago, has been canceled in order to protect the solvency of NASEN's core programs. Next year's NASEC, in Portland, Oregon, is still expected to take place. We at DRCNet will miss seeing those of you who had planned to attend, and wish you well until we meet again in Portland or elsewhere. Check out NASEN's web site at http://www.nasen.org.

March 10-12, Bern, Switzerland, Conference on Heroin Assisted Treatment for Dependent Drug Users. See http://www.admin.ch/bag/sucht/aktuell/e/aktuell1.htm for information.
