Handouts


PLA NC08 is paperless. That means there will be no paper handouts unless the presenters have decided to bring them on their own. Below are links to the handouts that presenters have submitted. This site will be active for at least one year following the conference. You can download and save handouts to your computer or to a portable drive. Or, you can print them if you wish. The files below are source files—that is you will need MS Word, PowerPoint or the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader (available for free download) to view and/or print them.

Not all presenters have made their handouts available for posting on this site. More handouts may be available in the weeks before the conference, so check back. Others may note be available until after the conference.

The sessions below are sorted by session number or Code. A 3-digit number indicates a concurrent program session; 2 digits or less, a Talk Table. You can also sort the list by Session Title by clicking on that column heading, or search by speaker’s last name by using that option.

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 as”.

Click here to access the list of programs that are being recorded and to order—at the special pre-conference and onsite rate—the MP3 DVD ROM which includes the handouts for the recorded programs.

Below are the handouts that presenters have submitted. 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. The sessions below are sorted by session number. If you click the column label, you can also sort by session name or presenter 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.
