Every attempt will be made to stimulate questions and discussion. For example, each talk is held to 35 minutes allowing 10 minutes for such interaction. At these meetings, the audience is encouraged and expected to participate and contribute to the learning process. The breaks, meals, and evening events are also planned so they will facilitate discussion and the exchange of ideas. Most of these social occasions will be held in the exhibit area where the latest tools, techniques, and services can be investigated.
Casual dress is recommended for all participants including speakers and exhibitors.
Although we realize some may feel more comfortable in a coat and tie, we believe a more casually dressed and comfortable group participates more freely and gains more from the meeting. Please relax and enjoy your stay, but plan to actively participate. Our staff is headquartered at the conference registration desk outside the meeting room, and will gladly help you with any question or problem you may have during the meeting.
