A viewing of the scheduled poster presentations will begin each session, followed by a 45-minute summary talk. After the break, an extended discussion session will take place during which poster presenters may make short (1-3 slide or viewgraph) presentations of their ideas and results. An evening tutorial will be presented at the end of each day, except Friday, highlighting a specific topic of plate motions. All sessions will be held in Buck Hall of the Marconi Center. Preregistration fee includes admission to all sessions, daily refreshment breaks, lunch each day, and admission to the ice-breaker reception on Tuesday evening.
