IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING!

. You can choose to present your work as a poster, oral, or either. All presentations (poster and/or oral) must be given IN-PERSON at the event. Remote presentations will NOT be considered or accepted.

Abstracts will be reviewed and considered for acceptance within 2-4 days after they are submitted. In other words, lead authors should receive confirmation of their acceptance within a few days after they are submitted. Please make note of the following details regarding times, locations, and formats.

Poster presentations will be held on Friday, Nov. 7th from 7 to 9 pm, (1 hour earlier than in previous years!). Poster set-up from 4:00-5:30 pm in the Terrace Room of the Elaine Langone Center on the campus of Bucknell University. Posters size should be limited to 60″ wide x 48″ tall and will be displayed on clip stands erected in the Terrace Room. Posters should remain on display until 1 pm Saturday. As in previous years, a light meal will be provided for poster presenters and their advisors. Food will be served from 4:30 to 5:30 pm.

Oral presentations are 15 minutes in length and will be delivered on Saturday, Nov. 8th in thematic sessions between 1 and 3 pm. Depending on the number of submissions, there will likely be 2 to 3 concurrent sessions held in various rooms in the Elaine Langone Center. Lead authors will be notified if your oral presentation abstract has been accepted within 4 days after they submitted it, with the understanding that they will deliver it on Saturday, Nov. 8 between 1 and 3 pm. The exact time slot, session, and room location of their presentation can only be determined after all the oral presentation abstracts have been submitted. The deadline is October 27th, after which the symposium technical committee will organize them into sessions and times. Lead authors of oral presentations should receive an email with the exact time slot and room location by Nov. 2nd.

Schedule changes this year! The symposium begins in the ELC Forum at 6 pm on Friday, November 7th. This is one hour earlier in previous years. Also, we will be ending the symposium at 3:15 pm on Saturday, November 8th. The tentative schedule is provided on the symposium website. The room locations will be the same as in previous years, just the starting and ending times have been adjusted.
