CONFERENCE PROGRAM

Conference program in PDF format.

MCWOP will be held on campus at the Ohio State University in Hitchcock Hall.

If you are going to be giving an oral presentation, please plan for a 20 minute talk plus 10 minutes for questions. The conference room is equipped with a computer (PC), laptop connection, projector, speakers, and an overhead projector for transparencies. We encourage those who plan to use Powerpoint or PDF slides to bring their talk on a USB memory stick or CD for projection from the in-room computer.

If you are going to be giving a poster, please make one no larger than 3' wide by 4' tall (portrait orientation). We will provide hanging materials on site.
