Changes and Corrections
A full list of changes, corrections and updates is available on the SBL website, linked through the annual meeting page. The Annual Meeting At-A-Glance will be available in print form at the meeting listing all of these changes—in addition to a fully integrated schedule with all sessions (AAR, SBL and Additional Meetings).

The following changes are of particular importance:
Please note that the SBL Presidential Address and the SBL Annual Business Meeting are listed incorrectly in the Session Index in the program book. Both sessions are listed correctly in the full program.

And Do You Have Your Passport??
Please remember that everyone entering Canada for the Annual Meeting must pass through Canadian customs and immigration. This means that U.S. citizens must have a passport or both: an official birth certificate and government-issued photo identification (e.g., driver's license).

Naturalized U.S. citizens must bring their naturalization certificate. Non-U.S. citizens should have inquired about visa requirements from their own country prior to travel.

More information on entry requirements to Canada can be found at http://www.travelcanada.ca . Official information on entering the US from Canada is available at U.S. Immigration web site http://www.ins.gov/graphics/faqs.htm
