[LTER-All-lter] "Late Breaking" information for the 2015 LTER All Scientists meeting.

[John Vande Castle]

The response for the 2015 LTER All Scientists Meeting has been amazing, 
and this promises to be an exciting and productive meeting.  Reference 
the ASM Website for more information:
http://asm2015.lternet.edu/

We have had a number of requests for "Late Breaking" Poster and Working 
Group submissions.  Although the deadline has passed, a limited number 
of submissions will be accepted.

Late Working Group Requests will be accepted for any Wednesday, 
September 2 session or any "Ad-hoc" (lunch or dinner) sessions.  These 
sessions contain MANY fewer concurrent sessions, so you are ensured a 
larger "audience pool" for these sessions.  Attendance figures show that 
only about 8% plan to leave early, so Wednesday is still an ideal time 
to book a "late breaking session.

A limited number of "Late Breaking Poster submissions will be accepted. 
  We have room for less than 10% of the late submissions as compared to 
the 2012 meeting, so don't delay sending these in before we have to 
close these submissions.  Working Group and Poster submissions submitted 
after the July 31 deadline are not guaranteed to be included in the 
printed program, but will be available through the on-line agenda.

Please note that the maximum poster size is 48" x 48" !

We need MANY more volunteers for judges in order to carry out the 
Student Poster competition, so please indicate your interest in helping 
with this through the main ASM website so we don't have to cancel it.

Late Registration for the 2015 LTER All Scientists Meeting is available

The YMCA Housing Deadline  is now passed, although you may still be able 
to obtain on-site housing, or in Estes Park.  We noticed a large number 
of people who registered for the meeting are not part of the housing 
list, and a large number of people with housing who have not yet 
registered, so you will want to check that you completed these.

Note that the YMCA requires a $20 "daily use fee" (included with on-site 
accommodation) for people staying off-site.

If you need Airport Shuttle Reservations, you will want to do that PRIOR 
to the meeting to ensure a ride from and to the Denver airport.

Please reference the ASM website for more information, and bookmark this 
for use at the meeting for the most up-to-date information.
