CONFERENCE PUBLICATIONS AND
ABSTRACT NUMBERING SYSTEM
You have in hand the Conference Workbook, the only
document you will really need during the Conference
week. As well as useful practical information, it lists all
the oral sessions and poster presentations (5,000 in
total). An index of presenting authors is given at the
back of the book. In addition, you will find space for
your notes throughout the programme pages.
In your delegate bag, you also have the Conference
Record (and its accompanying Index Volume). This is
published both in electronic form (CD-rom and
floppy disk, featuring an itinerary builder facility to
help you plan your week) and in print. The printed
version consists of a large volume including the full
text of the 6,000 accepted abstracts. These comprise
abstracts presented orally in abstract-driven sessions,
poster presentations and published only abstracts.
The following key should help you locate sessions
