ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM PAG TO PROSPECTIVE WORKSHOP SPEAKERS:
Once speakers are added to a workshop, each speaker will be sent an automated email with instructions how to login and post their individual workshop abstract. This form will include an option and instructions for submitting a poster abstract as well. All speakers must register for the conference. Prior to the October 30 deadline, the rates for workshop speakers are the same as attendees. However, workshop speakers are protected from paying the increased rates after October 30. If they are registering late, after October 30, they will need to request a discount code to avoid paying the higher rates. They should send an email to: pag(a)scherago.com<mailto:pag@scherago.com>
--------------------------------------------
ANTICIPATED TIMELINE FOR CHOOSING WORKSHOP SPEAKERS
After collecting input from everyone, we will share the data and consult with workgroup chairs and co-chairs as best we can to help guide us identifying an attractive set of topics for the 2016 PAG-ICGI Workshop. Again, we will attempt to arrive at decisions by October 26, for everyone to finalize and submit their abstracts, and if not chosen, to submit a poster instead. (Please note, however, that space for posters is limited, so it might be wise to submit poster abstracts well before October 26). Speakers will be instructed to submit their abstracts by November 6, 2015.
