Submitted abstracts will be selected for oral or poster presentation.

In order for the conference to proceed smoothly, the time allotted for each oral presentation will be strictly observed. We suggest that the presenter allow a few minutes for questions. Graduate student oral presentations will have an individual session but guidelines for the talk follow the submitted oral presentation format. There will be fifteen minutes before the start of each session in which the oral presentations will be checked for compatibility with the electronic system. To ensure smoothness of the presentations, please have your presentation ready at or before this time.
