Hi Alasdair,
Thanks for catching the discrepancy. I think the reasoning behind the difference is the inclusion of the date for the IVOA Exec meeting which occurs on the 26th. We will try to clarify this on the site pages to avoid confusion.
As for the finishing time, the program definition is still in process. I think it would be safe to assume it will be in similar fashion to the previous meetings which typically close around 16:00 perhaps a little earlier. Note October 31 is the US Halloween Holiday which is highly celebrated.
Cheers, Gretchen

Dear Roz
I'm hoping that you will be able to clear up some confusion that I have from looking at the various web pages to do with the IVOA InterOp in October.
The meeting web site
http://www.stsci.edu/institute/conference/ivoa2008
has the dates of the meeting as 27 - 31 October, while the meeting
wiki page
http://www.ivoa.net/cgi-bin/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/InterOpOct2008
has the dates of the meeting as 26 -31 October.
Additionally, could you give an indication as to the expected finishing time on the 31 October?
Thanks,
Alasdair
