session, as at last year's meeting in Orlando. Round-robin tours
begin at 4 pm.
- Pre-Conference Poster Printing - We are
again
offering optional poster pre-printing, delivery, and hanging this
year. Using this service will make traveling easier and will ensure
that your poster is up all week even if you are not there at the
beginning of the meeting. Please be aware that this is not on-site or
last-minute poster printing. The deadline for submission is Wednesday
8 October 2008, 5PM EDT. For complete details, see the Poster Printing page.
