Registration
  • The cost will be $20 for students and $40 for all others to cover the evening social event and meeting refreshments.
  • Please bring your own name tag, coffee mug (and pint glass, perhaps) to make this an eco-friendly meeting. Ed Waddington may be offering prizes for the most creative nametag.
Format

We anticipate that the meeting will follow the format of previous years. As usual for NWG, we have no requirements for advance abstracts and titles. The first agenda item on Friday morning will be to work out a schedule.


There will be some breakfast items (e.g. bagels, fruit) available at the meeting on Friday morning for breakfast.

The time available for each speaker will depend on the number who want to speak. However, due to the anticipated large number of participants, we ask that you be prepared to give your presentation in about 15 minutes maximum including discussion.

We plan to have projection facilities for PowerPoint-type presentations.  If you will want any additional equipment, please let us know what you would like as soon as possible.

We can also accommodate posters if you would like to bring one. Please indicate that you would like to do so when you email to register.
Icebreaker


A pizza dinner and social gathering will take place on Friday evening. Directions to the venue will be provided at the meeting.
