FAQ
Faculty participants may request a chalk-talk slot during registration. Because the program has limited time, talk slots will be confirmed by the organizers after registration and abstract review.
Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers are encouraged to present posters. At this time, oral presentations are primarily reserved for faculty chalk talks unless otherwise announced by the organizers.
Posters are not required for attendance, but students and postdocs are strongly encouraged to present a poster to share their work and participate fully in the conference.
