Bring your instrument, your voice and join in!
Oral presentations will be in 20 minute time slots (unless you have been advised differently). These should be prepared as PowerPoint presentations - we strongly recommend you provide them in .pps (PowerPoint Show) format, to ensure that symbols and graphics transfer appropriately. To make a .pps file, use 'Save As' and select the PowerPoint Show (pps) mode. Note you cannot edit a .pps file. Time slots are 20 minutes - presentations should be tailored to 15 minutes, allowing 5 minutes for questions and change over.
Posters will be displayed from 4 p.m. on Friday to 4 p.m. on Saturday in the Fireside Room. Poster boards are being provided by the Darwin Event Group as 4 feet x 8 feet coroplast sheets (twin wall corrugated plastic) mounted on a rigid frame (horizontal format). You can use either pins or Velcro (please bring pins or Velcro with you) to affix your poster.
The following documents will be reviewed and/or discussed at the Annual General Meeting. Those marked with an asterisk (*) are included in the Program and Abstracts. Check back here before you leave for Wolfville - this section will likely change frequently as the AGM approaches.
The Colloquium is being held at The Old Orchard Inn, at exit 11 on Highway 101, just outside Wolfville. Accommodations can be arranged directly with the Inn at http://www.oldorchardinn.com/.
