International Symposium: The Sloan Digital Sky Survey
>From Asteroids to Cosmology
August 15-18, 2008
Chicago, Illinois

Over eight years of observations, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
(SDSS-I, 2000 - 2005; SDSS-II, 2005 - 2008) has transformed many fields
of astronomy, from the identification of asteroid families to the
discovery of the most distant quasars, from substructure in the outer
Galaxy to the large-scale structure of the Universe.

This broad-ranging symposium will review progress and prospects in these
fields, including observational contributions from the SDSS and from
other major surveys, theoretical interpretation of the results, and
plans for the next generation of large astronomical survey projects. The
program will include invited reviews, contributed talks, posters, and a
symposium banquet on a cruise boat on Lake Michigan.

The symposium will take place in downtown Chicago at the historic
Merchandise Mart

Center (2nd Floor), 350 West Mart Center Drive, Chicago IL 60654.
