Handouts

Invited speakers are encouraged to provide handouts prior to the Institute for inclusion in registration materials. Additional handouts may be available at the individual sessions. Also, you are invited to tape record any sessions, with the permission of the speaker. Abstracts of all presentations by invited speakers will be included with the registration materials in order to assist you in your selection of sessions and to provide valuable information about sessions you are unable to attend. Also included in the registration materials will be a complete list of Institute participants and faculty (if you wish to obtain this list on disk, to assist you in networking with participants after the conference, bring a disk to Florida and we will copy the file for you).
