Platform Presentations
When submitting your poster abstract, please indicate in the first line if you would like to be considered for a Platform Presentation (SEE SAMPLE ABSTRACT) These presentations will be designed to allow for additional visibility and to stimulate discussions at the poster sessions. A Platform Presentation is not meant to be a complete scientific talk, but a brief overview of your research. Due to time limitations, we will only be able to accept a limited number of abstracts within this category. You will be notified after April 18, 2008, whether or not your abstract has been accepted as a Platform Presentation.
