We envision that time slots for both invited and contributed oral presentations to be 15 to 20 minutes. A computer and projector will be available for powerpoint.

We encourage poster presentations for projects that either are in the conceptual phase, do not have complete or preliminary results, or are too complex to present in a 20 minute oral presentation.
