Each oral presentation will last 20 minutes comprising 15 minutes for the oral presentation and 5 minutes for questions.

Presenters should load their presentation onto the computer at the lectern on the stage. Caltech staff will be available to assist. Presentations before lunch should be loaded prior to the first session of the day. Presentations after lunch can be loaded in the morning or during the lunch break.

Each poster will be allocated a separate panel that has 36 inches tall by 80 inches wide of useable space. We will have two poster sessions, one on Tuesday and one on Wednesday. Authors are requested to attend their poster during the official Poster Session time. Posters can also be viewed informally during the coffee breaks. Authors in the Tuesday session are asked to hang their posters by Monday afternoon and remove them by Wednesday morning. Authors in the Wednesday session are asked to hang them by lunch time on Wednesday and remove them by Thursday afternoon. Material for mounting the posters will be available at the registration desk.

For those wishing to print their poster at the conference, one option would be to use FedEx-Kinkos which has several locations near the conference venue: http://local.fedex.com/ca/pasadena/

Following the tradition of MicroRad, the best posters will receive a prize. A specific committee is be responsible for the evaluation.
