Although each author may submit as many abstracts as desired, we will accept for presentation by each submitter:
(a) a maximum of 1 first authored paper/poster, and (b) a maximum of 2 papers/posters in any authorship status.
Note that no changes in authorship (including deleting an author or changing author order) will be possible after the
review process is completed.
You will receive an e-mail confirming the receipt of your abstract within 48 hours of your submission. While you will receive
a confirmation on the website after you submit your abstract, the e-mail will serve as your official confirmation.
Please contact us if you do not receive the e-mail within 48 hours of your submission.
The deadline is 8:00 PM EST on May 15, 2008. We are sorry that we are unable to consider late abstracts.

Free services/software for creating PDF documents are available from several sources, including:
http://www.adobe.com (free trial: five free documents)
Macintosh only: PDFs can be made on the MAC OSX operating system by selecting
"print" under the "file" menu of your word processing program. (Look for
the "Save As PDF..." button in the print window).
- If my paper is accepted but the scheduled time is not convenient for me, can I request that the time be changed?
Because of the difficulty to changing the schedule once it is set, we are not able to honor any requests for a change in schedule. Presenters who must schedule their presentation on certain days for religious reasons should make that known at the time of abstract submission.
