PROCEEDINGS
In keeping with the environmental
objectives of the 11th ICRS, registrants
will have the option of receiving
the 11th ICRS Proceedings
in either hardcopy or CD format.
By choosing the CD option, attendees
reduce the number of trees
used, and reduce the overall symposium
carbon footprint as the CDs
are lighter to ship. All participants
will be given a form to make their
selection at the 11th ICRS and will
be given instructions on where to
submit the form.
PROGRAM and
ABSTRACT BOOKS
Each registrant will receive one
copy of the Program and one copy
of the Abstract book (if a hard copy
was requested on your registration).
You may also view the Abstract
Book online at the Abstract
Search located in Hall A.
