Participating in a conference: some advice for new-comers
Session Organizers: Malcolm Hunter and Aram Calhoun

Description: This workshop will provide advice to participants, especially students, on the fine art of attending a conference and making effective presentations.  Topics to be covered will include:  posters (how to fit 5,000 words into a square meter), oral presentations (how to fit 5,000 words into 15 slides), and networking (how to fit 5,000 words into a beer).  In other words, we will take a light-hearted look at some ways to make attending a conference an enjoyable and productive experience.
