Verify that your registration is recorded; see who else is coming. When you've been accepted, GRC mails you a blue registration form. I think we all have to fill this paper form out and mail it back to them. I'm now listed as registered because I sent in my form. TW 5/00
We invite participants to present their work in poster sessions to be organized in the afternoons. If you'd like to present a poster, mention it on the application form. Here's a bit more information for poster presenters. Here's the GRC's info about posters and meeting rooms at the site. Many people want to present posters, so we have to restrict you to one poster per participant. We plan to have the posters on display throughout the conference. A time will be set aside for people to discuss their posters. Tentatively we plan to have these poster hours at 4 o'clock on Monday and Tuesday. Armand Ajdari is in charge of the posters. Please contact him with your questions and suggestions.
Those seeking support from the conference should say so at the bottom of the Gordon conference application form, where it asks... Indicate your particular activities which justify favorable consideration of you as a participant and contributor to this Conference.
