Abstract Preparation & Submission

All abstracts submitted by 15 September 2008 will be accepted for poster display, oral workshop presentation, and will be printed in the program booklet. Because of printing space limitations the entirety of the abstract (title, authors, affliations, and text) may not exceed 1500 characters and spaces. Please visit Abstract do's and don'ts for, well . . . you get the point. Please direct abstract and workshop questions to Dr. Randy Sacco, AIC Workshop Coordinator.

Workshops

All abstract submitters (one person per abstract) are invited to present orally in a Workshop organized by topic. Ten or eleven concurrent small group workshops precede the poster sessions and are chaired by investigators with expertise in the topic area. Each workshop generally contains 10 short talks allowing ample time for data presentation and discussion. The final workshop topics depends upon abstract submissions and authors cannot be guaranteed of their first choice. Each presenter will be contacted by a Workshop Chair for specific details regarding her/his oral presentation. The poster session follows immediately after the workshops and allows for an in depth, discussion of the data.

The Workshop format utilizes overhead projectors and authors should prepare pre-printed overheads.
Sorry, but we are unable to accommodate PowerPoint presentations. Please see Workshop Do's and Don'ts for helpful tips.

A reception will run concurrently with the poster session, affording an informal atmosphere to interact.
