The IAU Symposium on Brown Dwarfs will be hosted
by the Institute for Astronomy of the University of Hawaii in collaboration
with several astronomical research institutions located in Hawaii
(see Sponsors). The Institute for Astronomy of the University
of Hawaii is heavily involved in the development and management
of the observatories at Haleakala and Mauna Kea. Its faculty has
a long tradition in organizing international meetings, including
the 27th Annual Meeting of the Division for Planetary Sciences
of the American Astronomical Society, and the Bioastronomy 99
symposium. We plan to provide the attendees to this Symposium
with the opportunity of visiting the world-class observatory of
Mauna Kea in the Big Island of Hawaii.
