Program

  • Information for Poster Presenters

    The poster sessions will be held in rooms adjacent to the main conference sessions.  Time has been set aside for poster discussions during the Monday evening reception and during the afternoon break times on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.  

    Presenters will be responsible for putting up and taking down their posters.  Any posters remaining from the previous day's sessions will be discarded.

    Each poster should measure 40 inches/101 cm wide by 36 inches/91 cm tall.  Rigid display boards and mounting materials will be provided.
