A dinner for plenary speakers will take place at Stationen Restaurant on November 9th.

1. How do I print my poster for the All-Hands Meeting?

   If you need assistance in printing your poster for the All-Hands meeting, send the pdf version to Caroline no later than Wednesday, November 1st.

2. I’m giving a short presentation at AMRI. What do I need to know? Presenters must send Caroline their PowerPoint by November 7th at 5 pm. All presentations will be loaded onto a single computer to streamline the process.

3. I know that there are certain parts of the AMRI Program I won’t be able to attend, should I let you know?

   Yes, for planning purposes, we’d like to have a head count on attendees, so if you know that you won’t be able to attend the whole program, kindly send an email. Thank you!
