Workshops
Two workshops will be held on Thursday, Oct. 22, 2009, in the conference hotel. Pre-registration is mandatory and should be indicated on your registration form. These workshops are listed below.
WK01: Macromolecular crystallization, data collection and data processing techniques
WK02: Direct-method SAD phasing and dual-space model completion
Poster Presentation
Posters are a visual and concise means of presenting one's work in progress or an overview of some subjects. Please note that it will be regarded as an important element of AsCA'09 and all participants are highly encouraged to attend poster presentations during the conference. The size for each poster will be 90 cm wide by 120 cm high. Poster boards will be numbered according to the same numbering scheme in the abstract book.
The poster presentations will be displayed throughout the duration of the conference. During the designated poster sessions, the presenters are requested to remain in front of their poster boards to meet with other attendees.
