2008 Technical Meeting Program
The program and schedule for the 2008 technical meeting is not yet available, but will be listed here soon.
Student Program
The 2008 SES meeting will continue the annual tradition of the student presentation competition. Student authors may choose to be considered for one of three awards to be presented at the Tuesday night banquet to recognize the top student presentations at the technical meeting. Sixteen finalists for the award will be identified prior to the conference, and -- thanks to support from our generous sponsors – will be reimbursed for all expenses associated with travel, registration, and lodging at the conference. For more information, please contact the conference organizers, or check the appropriate box on the abstract submission form.
