Dear ACR Community,

Put it in your diaries and make sure you don't miss out. Asia Pacific ACR will be in Queenstown, New Zealand, dubbed the 'Adventure Capital of the World' from July 5th-8th 2012. We're giving you plenty of time to make sure you can allocate your research funding or save up to bring your family and be part of what will likely be one of the coolest conference destinations you will ever experience in one of the most amazing countries in the world.

Two of the co-chairs, Ekant Veer & Paul Ballantine, will be at ACR St Louis, so if you see us, stop and ask questions or just stop us and say "Hi, I'm jealous of where you live" (no, we never get sick of hearing it).

We'll be sending out a formal Call for Papers in due course - in the meantime, start thinking about how you'd like to spend your time in New Zealand. If you're short of ideas, check out Queenstown's official tourism site:
