This will ensure your presentation can be opened and loaded onto the conference computer system.

An audio visual technician will be available to assist with presentations and will advise speakers of any further instructions.

Speakers are required to be in their presentation room 10 minutes prior to the commencement of the session in which they will be presenting to meet with the Session Moderator.

Conference Proceedings/Extended Abstracts

A required conference proceedings containing “Extended Abstracts” will be published from oral and visual papers presented at this conference.  In general, the goals of these “Extended Abstracts” are to: (1) provide a written record of the papers presented at this conference, (2) identify the contributors to the extent others can easily contact authors at a later date if more information is desired, and (3) provide enough detail to fully capture the work reported at the conference without compromising the possibility that the work could be published in a refereed journal in the future. 

Extended Abstract may be submitted on-site at the registration desk; please submit on a CD Rom or bring a portable drive and we will take a copy.

After the conference please e-mail your extended abstract as a “Word”™ document attachment to Mikel Robinson at mikel.robinson@umontana.edu .
