Sunday, May 6, 2012 16:00 18:00 18:00 19:00 19:00 20:30 Registration (Hotel Lobby) Opening Reception (Lobby Bar) Dinner (Terraza Veranda)

NOTES Technical sessions will be held in El Greco Room. Poster Room location is TBA. Although there are two poster sessions, posters will remain mounted for the entire conference. Posters may be hung on Monday prior to 6:30 pm and should be removed by Thursday afternoon. Breakfasts are at the main dining hall (Quetzal) and are served buffet style. Breakfast opens at 6:30. Lunches will be at the LaPerla Restaurant. Dinners on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be at Terraza Veranda. The location of the Thursday evening banquet will be announced. Audiotaping, videotaping and photography of presentations are strictly prohibited. Speakers Please leave at least 5 minutes for questions and discussion. Please do not smoke at any conference functions. Turn your cellular telephones to vibrate or off during technical sessions. Be sure to make any corrections to your name/contact information on the Master Participant List or confirm that the listing is correct. A corrected electronic copy will be sent to all participants after the conference. The hotel has wi-fi. It is recommended to bring your own Ethernet cables should you need a faster speed as most guests bring smart phones, iPads and laptops, thereby slowing access.
