In addition to papers, organizers are also accepting posters that address the conference theme and/or topics.  Posters will be exhibited through the 2nd day of the conference.  The organizers also encourage student presentations.

We'd also like you to submit your bio in this same form.

The deadline for abstracts is 3 April 2013.  Conference presenters will be allotted 20 minutes to present with an additional 10 minutes for questions and discussion.

There will be a $25 fee for early registrants. Those who register at the event will be charged $40. Students will be charged a $10 fee. You will be able to pay on-line at Guampedia.com Gift Shop shortly. We will notify you once that payment option is set up and will be in touch with more information about the conference soon.

For now, though, can you please email us back at this email address (shannonjm@gmail.com) to let us know if you plan to either present or attend just so that we can plan accordingly?

Thank you so much! We hope to see you in August.
