minutes (late breaking reports and posters). If you are giving a presentation,
a laptop and projector will be available. Normally, you should send your
slides to us at
admin@cogsima.org so
they can be loaded on the laptop. You can also bring a memory stick with your
slides. If you are giving a demonstration, then you can use your own laptop,
but as setting up your laptop can take some time, please use this option only
if it is essential. This option is not available for those giving 5-minute
presentations.
The regular oral presentations will held in East Village 024. The late
breaking reports and poster presentations will be held in East Village 102.
Photos of the rooms are available at

Village Classrooms.
Posters
Posters will be displayed on the walls in East Village 008/010. There is no
standard format for posters. Student volunteers will be available to print
your poster, to tape it to the wall, and to remove it at the end of the
session. The room is available on Wednesday from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, but the
Poster Session itself is from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm. Please do not tape or remove
your poster yourself as this can damage the wall.
Those with posters are also invited to give a 5-minute presentation during the
Late Breaking Report and Poster Session (Wednesday, 13 June, 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm
