Posters

Participants are encouraged to prepare posters for discussion during regularly scheduled poster sessions, during the ample afternoon free time, and during the evening social gatherings.  Contributed posters will be displayed throughout the conference. Please submit poster titles and a brief abstract to Enrique J. Galvez (Egalvez@mail.colgate.edu) by May 15, 2008, but please note that only titles will be published as per GRC policy.

Publication and Press Guidelines Policy

Any publication of abstract books or electronically posting of abstracts, proceedings, etc. is strictly prohibited by the GRC. An essential part of the Gordon Research Conferences format is that all discussions are informal and off-the-record. No information presented at a Gordon Research Conference is to be used without the specific authorization of the individual making the contribution, whether the contribution is in a formal presentation, discussion or poster presentation. Publications are not to be prepared as emanating from Gordon Research Conferences.
