It has come to our attention that Crystal Globe solicited personal and credit card information from Conference participants without the knowledge or consent of the University of Arizona's Center for Consciousness Studies. There were other matters of concern, as well, as a consequence of which the Center for Consciousness Studies has terminated Crystal Globe's participation in this year's TSC Conference. To reiterate, at this time CCS cannot verify or protect information going to or coming from Crystal Globe; if you have sent them any information about which you are concerned, please notify us immediately and we will assist you. We urge you NOT to respond to their messages, and request that you please notify us of any future communication you receive so that we can take appropriate action. Of course we apologize for this major inconvenience, and are working diligently to rectify the situation as quickly as possible. We have never had anything like this happen in the 24 years we've convened the TSC conferences. We still expect TSC 2017 to be one of the best ever, so please bear with us as we 'Bear Down' (Arizona Wildcats fans will get that reference, others are invited to google it). EFTA01051493 The conference is still on, we just need to work out some details, on which we'll be sending an update soon.
