Workshops
Workshops will tend to highlight emerging technology and tool development particular to a specific area, as well as the big questions and challenges facing more specialized research fields. Presentation of preliminary data may be appropriate, as workshops are intended to encourage and elicit interactive discussion among participants.

Banquet and Prizes
Superb poster prizes to be awarded at the Banquet!
Oral Sessions
The Organizers and Session Coordinators will select oral presentations from submitted abstracts. Due to the anticipated number of excellent abstracts, some oral sessions will likely run concurrently.
The Conference site will have the below audiovisual equipment available. Please follow the guidelines given below, in order for your presentation to run successfully. There will be a room available throughout the conference so that you may run through your presentation. Keys and practice times (for that room) are made available at the Annex Room (2nd floor).
- Laptops (PC and MAC) - All PowerPoint presentation files should be saved on a CD-R, CD-RW or an USB Flash Memory Drive. You may use your own computer although there might be compatibility issues with conference a/v equipment. Presentations will be copied to computers provided by conference staff 45 minutes prior to your session. The version of PowerPoint used to save the file is important. The highest quality projection will occur with files saved in PowerPoint 2002 format for PC's and use Mac OS9 or Mac OSX operating systems for Macs. Do not use a resolution higher than 1024x768 pixels. Programs may also be in Apple Keynote in the Union Theater.
- Overhead presentations - Items for overhead projection should be copied onto plain white paper for best results. The orientation of the graphic should be portrait.
- Video Projectors
- Projection of traditional 35mm slides will not be available.
