Information for Presenters
Presenters should clearly communicate any special equipment needs at the time of their registration. Computer projection systems for PowerPoint will be available.
All PowerPoint presentations must be on CD or USB flash drive (preferable) and must be loaded onto the computer available in the session room prior to the start of the session. Therefore, if you plan to use PowerPoint, you must be at the session at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the session (i.e., if your talk is at 10:15, then you are in a morning session that begins at 9:00 a.m. You must be there at 8:30 AM to load your talk onto the computer).
Abstract submission is open for the 2010 AAS meeting. Abstracts must be submitted for both oral and poster presentations. Oral presentations are limited to 15 minutes (12 minute talk, 3 minutes for questions).
Posters are limited to 3 feet 9 inches in both width and height. Vertical display boards of a cork-like material will be available for poster displays. Posters will be presented Friday evening.
Abstract submission and registration are online. Abstracts will be posted online within one week after they are received. Abstracts must be received by 12 noon March 1 for both oral presentations and posters! Be sure to submit your registration form as well.
In order to quickly post abstracts online, please submit your abstract using the online submission form. Formatting such as italics and line breaks are lost on the form, but email submission of the abstract in MS Word (in addition to using the online form) will let us retain formatting in the printed program.
Manuscripts for publication in the Journal, based on a presentation given at the meeting, are due at the time of the presentation. Manuscripts should be e-mailed to the Managing Editor of the Journal (Dr. Ivan Still, istill@atu.edu) two days before the meeting. An electronic copy (on CD or flash drive) and hard copy should be handed to the editorial staff the day of the meeting. One of the authors must be an AAS member to publish in the Journal. Please read instructions for prospective authors found at http://orgs.atu.edu/aas/JAASpolicies.pdf.
