Greg,
The schedule looks great. I noticed there is no poster session
this year. I know that there really weren't enough submissions to warrant
one, though in previous years Swarmfest presenters have always been
encouraged to bring a poster as well. Part of me feels like poster
sessions are much more interactive than oral presentations, on the other
hand with such a small group maybe its not warranted. Anyway just
wondering if there were any thoughts on this?
Take care and see you all in about a week,
Bill
