Handouts

Listed below in chronological order are the sessions for which presenters have already submitted handouts. New handouts will be added regularly before the conference and immediately following it. Some sessions will not have handouts, and some presenters will distribute paper copies in the session itself. The files below are source files - that is, you will need Word, PowerPoint or Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and/or print them. If you click the column label, you can sort alphabetically by the title of the session or by the session organizer's last name. If you are having problems downloading a particular document, you may right click on the document and save it to your computer by using "save target as". Click here for approximate file download times.

Again, you need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view PDF files. If you need a free copy of this application, you can download it here.
