alternative arrangements. Please do so as quickly as
possible.

very late arrivals may have no other alternative. Do
not, however, assume you will be reimbursed without consulting

poster?
A: A poster schedule will be available on the web site
by September 8 and will be in the printed program distributed
at registration.
Q: How will I know when I should tend my poster?
A: If your poster space is an odd number, please plan on
tending your poster during the first hour of the session;
even number, second hour. Posters were organized so that
folks presenting more than one could tend at different times,
or if of the same discipline, set up side-by-side. The
one exception is Friday, when all posters are tended at the
same time.
Q: I was supposed to receive confirmation of
my housing reservation from the YMCA, but I haven't. What
should I do?

not sent out any confirmations. The LNO is working
with them to make sure that their rooming list is complete. The
YMCA is also holding rooms in reserve in case of mix ups.
