The Exhibit Hall will open at 8:00 am each morning. It will remain open for poster viewing until 10:00 pm each night, except for Tuesday, when it will close at 4:30 pm for safety purposes during exhibit tear down. Posters are arranged according to topic. Your poster board number begins with “B.” On the day of presentation, authors assigned odd-numbered poster boards should present from 1:45–2:45 pm (10:30–11:30 am on Wednesday); even-numbered posters should present from 2:45–3:45 pm, (11:30 am–12:30 pm on Wednesday). Other hours, day or evening, may be posted by the authors as desired. Additionally, authors may leave notepaper so that visitors may request an appointment. Abstracts submitted after October 1, 2015, are scheduled each day, Sunday-Wednesday, during the regu- lar poster sessions. These board assignments will begin with “LB.” Posters are to be removed by 5:00 pm on Sunday and Monday, and 4:30 pm on Tuesday in order to accommodate Exhibits tear down, and 3:00 pm on Wednesday. Please do not leave materials or belongings under poster boards or in the poster area. The Society is not responsible for any articles left in the poster area.
