Papers and talks for the conference CD are to be delivered also to the presentation coordinators. We can accept data in PDF format only. (For posters, EPS or PS is accepted). Installed programs on the conference laptops include Illustrator 10.x, PowerPoint MS-Office and Acrobat (Distiller included) so you can convert your presentation to PDF at the site if necessary.
