Manuscripts for the NMC Technology Transfer Session (poster session) and PowerPoint presentations for the Research and Development Summaries Session (oral presentations) will be collected on this website. Please follow all the instructions carefully. You will have full access to view and upload your submission up until the submission deadline.

Powerpoint presentations for individuals accepted in the Research and Development Summaries Session will be collected prior to the meeting to make sure each file runs properly and to allow enough time to load all the presentations onto one laptop prior to the meeting. Powerpoint files are not reproduced or provided to meeting registrants.

Additional information about the session is available in the TTS Prospectus.

The deadline for manuscripts is OCTOBER 30, 2009 to allow enough time to review all the submissions and also to assemble and print the proceedings prior to the conference. The deadline for PowerPoint presentations is January 27.

The intent of the Technology Transfer Session and the Research and Development Summaries Session is to provide quality sessions focused on educational content, which is free from commercial influence or bias. Manuscripts and posters are not to be be used as platforms for commercial sales, promotions and/or advertising. Excessive use of brand names, product names, trade names, and/or trademarks is not allowed. Excessive use of brand names, product names or logos, failure to substantiate performance claims, and failure to objectively discuss alternative methods, processes, and equipment are indicators of sales pitches. Restricting commercialism benefits both the authors and recipients of submissions and presentations. A general guideline is to use proprietary names once and thereafter to use generic descriptors or neutral designations.
