Poster session submissions are now being accepted â€" please submit your poster abstract here : http://precis.preciscentral.com/User/UserLogin.asp?Action=New&EventID=821fa74b&bhcp=1.
June 15, 2011 is the deadline for poster submissions. Please note there will be awards for poster presentations and all poster submissions will be reviewed before acceptance.
