Workshop Presentations

EACH MEETING PARTICIPANT MAY MAKE ONLY ONE WORKSHOP PRESENTATION. Oral presentations will be limited to 12 min. with an additional 3 min. for discussion. PCs and projection units supporting XGA will be available at each workshop site for PowerPoint presentations. All workshop PCs will be loaded with the Windows environment and the latest version of PowerPoint. There will be limited support for computer full-motion video (.mpg, .mov, .wav, or .avi format). We strongly suggest that your presentation be developed in PowerPoint 2007 or a compatible version, (i.e. Mac PowerPoint for OSX). Overhead projectors and slide projectors will not be available.

IMPORTANT: Presenters will be required to report to the Speaker-Ready Room a minimum of 3 hours prior to the start of their session with their PowerPoint presentation saved on one of the following formats: USB Flash Drive, CD-ROM, and DVD-ROM.  At that time, speakers MUST preview their presentations which will then be downloaded onto workshop PCs. It will not be possible to use personal laptop computers for workshop presentations. Questions regarding audio-visual arrangements may be directed to Shelagh Johnston; email: smj65@cornell.edu.

Abstracts for Poster Sessions

Authors scheduled in poster sessions will be assigned a poster board space for display of illustrative materials such as text, graphs, charts, and tables. The maximum outside dimension of each poster, including the title, must not exceed 4 ft x 4 ft (120 cm x 120 cm). Information presented on posters should be readable at a distance of 3 ft. For your convenience, poster board fasteners will be provided at the meeting.

Program and Abstract Book

The ASV ’08 Scientific Program & Abstract Book will be mailed to all current ASV members in good standing (2008 dues paid) more than one month before the meeting. ASV members who receive a mailed Program & Abstract Book should bring it with them to the meeting. Very few additional copies will be available and only on a per fee basis. The Program & Abstract Book will be provided to all other registered participants upon check-in at the ASV Registration Desk at Duffield Hall.
