FYI regarding Hyatt Centric Santa Barbara:
We look forward to seeing you soon in beautiful Santa Barbara. We want to update you on a few items regarding the hotel. The following is posted on their website: Hyatt Centric Santa Barbara is undergoing facility improvements. During this time, some hotel facilities are relocated or unavailable. The swimming pool and lounge deck is closed through February 29, 2020. StayFit by Hyatt Fitness Center is closed from January 20, 2020 through March 13, 2020.  Additionally, restaurant service is limited to breakfast and dinner hours.

They are behind in construction due to the recent Santa Barbara forest fires. There are multiple locations within 1 to 1 ½ miles for dining. 

Registration is now open for the event. Please click here to register. PLEASE NOTE: Our web provider is having some technical difficulties. If you get an error message after submitting a registration, do NOT try to register again. The system does actually accept your registration; it just crashes at the confirmation page. If you try again, we think it will double charge your card. Hopefully this will be fixed by Tuesday. Sorry for the problems!

The 2020 program is now available here. This also contains the program for the Signal Analytics Workshop, which begins at 1:00 on Feb. 19.

We're still in the process of creating the online program with abstracts. The 2018 program is available here. You can also find it in the archives (click the button at the bottom of this section).
