Poster size can be up to 4 ft x 4 ft (about 120 cm x 120 cm).

Posters were displayed for the entire conference. A limited number of lagrer boards (8' wide, 4' high; or 2.4 m x 1.2 m) may be available to accommodate display of seismic data or other special needs. These boards may be not available in the main poster viewing area and may not be available for the full symposium.

Poster presenters were also given the opportunity to give a brief, 2-minute talk with the optional one slide (two slides maximum).

Oral presentations will be 15 minutes including questions. Keynote presentations will be 40 minutes.
