PROGRAM

For the speakers: Please use your notebook PC or iPad for your presentation. Our PC projector has the standard VGA D-sub15pin cable, so if you use a newer machine please bring your VGA adapter (ex. Mini Displayport VGA adapter).
 
For the poster presenters: Please prepare your poster so as to fit in your poster space, the size of which is 1,350 mm width x 1,800 mm height (see the picture). Poster session is scheduled on the afternoon (13:00 - 14:30) and evening (18:30 - 20:00) of August 5th, Tuesday. We will provide you 4 - 6 pins to put your poster on the board. If you need many pins, please bring the addiotional pins by yourself. You can put your poster anytime after the registration, and we hope you to leave it till Aug-7th noon. Please click here to check your poster number.
 
For all : Please look at the commercial displays of 3 Japanese companies, Nichirei, Kaneka, and Japan Hi-Tech Co.Ltd. at the 1st floor of the hall during the conference. You can use Wi-Fi internet connection in the conference hall, for which we will inform you ID and passwd.
