Presentation Information
In an effort to have a “paperless” conference, all presentations will be uploaded to this site by April 18, 2008. Presentations will stay on the site for downloading after the conference concludes. Visit the Presentation Information page for submission instructions and a list of presentations currently available for download as PDF files.
If you would like to have copies of any presentations while at the conference, you are responsible for printing. Printing services and handouts will not be provided at the conference.
