Cosponsored with, and part of, the 2008 Summer Meeting
of the American Astronomical Society
at the St. Louis Convention Center

The 2008 annual meeting of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific took place from May 31 - June 4 in St. Louis, Missouri, as part of the summer meeting of the American Astronomical Society -- in the form of a symposium with associated workshops.

The ASP IYA Symposium was co-sponsored by the Spitzer Science Center, NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program, the Education Office of the American Astronomical Society, NASA's Science Mission Directorate, National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), Ball Aerospace & Technologies, and was endorsed by the Astronomical League. We thank these and our other co-sponsors for making the meeting a success.

This meeting brought together those interested in astronomy and space-science education and outreach to discuss international, regional, and local programs for the International Year of Astronomy in 2009, which celebrates the 400th anniversary of the astronomical telescope.
