Program Guide, Searchable CD, At-a-Glance Concurrent Platform Session Reference and Meeting Overview

The Program Guide, often called “The Small Book” (containing general meeting information, highlights and logistics; meeting schedule; scientific presentations; exhibitor information; and speaker and author index), will be mailed before the meeting to early registrants (i.e., those who register online on or before September 19, 2008) residing in the USA. A CD will be enclosed with the Program Guide and will contain searchable text of all abstracts, an individualized meeting planner program, meeting schedule, exhibitor information, scientific session listings, and other meeting details and logistics.
 

Early registrants (i.e., those who register online on or before September 19) residing outside the USA will be mailed the searchable CD only, unless they choose to receive the Program Guide.
 

For those who register after the early registration deadline of September 19, the Program Guide and CD will be available at the meeting.
 

Abstracts Volume

The printed Abstracts Volume (the Large Book) will be distributed to all registrants at the meeting. It will contain text of all abstracts, meeting schedule, speaker and author index, permuted title index, keyword index, and exhibitor advertisements.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This will be the last year the printed abstract volume (the large book) will be available. After 2008, the abstracts will only be available online.
