The PCs have the Vista operating system with Office 2007. For Mac users, we suggest that you convert your talk to a pdf for presentation.If all of the symposium or paper session presenters are using Macs, then plan on aggregating your files onto one machine. Keynote speakers may use their preferred platform. All presenters for a paper or symposium session should add their presentation to the PC before the session starts. Remember, include your name on the file, not just ISSID!

Presenters will have an opportunity to discuss their poster during either the first or second session. The poster boards are 122 x 244 cm (4' x 8') landscape.

We will provide push pins to mount the posters on the boards.The Program is now availableThe program is now available either as an HTML or pdf.

Because Evanston is located on the shores of Lake Michigan, the temperature is somewhat moderated from that experienced at OHare or further from the lake. Advice? Bring a bathing suit and a sweater! (As of July 10th, you might want to bring an umbrella as well.) Check the forecast before you leave. |
