The Program Committee has approved three proposals to offer seminars at the 2016 Annual Meeting in San Francisco. Click here to see full details of these sessions. Seminars are intended to provide an opportunity for extensive discussion of the papers to be presented. To this end attendance at fthe seminars will be limited, and the speakers in these sessions have been asked to make their papers available by the end of November so that registrants who attend the sessions can read them in advance. Each presenter will present only a brief summary of his or her paper at the session itself.
To ensure the success of this session, the Program Committee requests the following commitments from annual meeting registrants interested in attending a seminar.
1. Ask the Seminar Leaders via e-mail to reserve a place for you at the session. Click on the link given above to obtain the e-mail address for each session’s organizer.
2. Read each of the seminar papers in advance of the meeting. Registrants whose requests to participate are accepted will receive copies of the seminar papers.
3. Attend the entire 3-hour session in San Francisco. The Program Committee feels strongly that the success of the seminars will depend in large part on the willingness of all participants to participate actively for the entire session. In addition, persons accepted for attendance at a seminar may be taking the place of another registrant who wished to attend the session. There will be a brief break scheduled about halfway through each session.
