Farewell Function

 

NB: Each presenter will have 15 minutes. More time can only be given if speakers drop out – we have over 600 speakers in 5 concurrent sessions and are absolutely crammed in with every slot occupied. Decisions about question time, discussants etc must be made by session convenors. At this stage it is not possible to move sessions any more – if you find yourself giving two papers at the same time you will have to sort it out with your convenors. We have tried to lessen clashes as much as possible, but all sessions overlap in content to some degree, so moving one just creates problems elsewhere. Some sessions run over more than one day – we cannot avoid this.

The IPPA General meeting: since we have lunch boxes each day in the VASS building, and given that delegates will probably want to disperse and eat after sessions finish at 6.00 pm, it is best if we discuss the future of IPPA over lunch on Monday 30 November, 12.30 to 2.00 pm. Details of how and where will be circulated later.
