Instructions to speakers: Please bring your presentation on a CD or memory stick. Things will go more smoothly if we can easily access all of the presentations from the same computer.

You can briefly preview your talk on that computer and make any necessary minor revisions if there is time. You can use your own laptop only if our projector can pick up the signal without restarting.
Posters can be mounted on tripods. We will provide tripods and posterboards (4 ft. wide) like those pictured below.
