IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENT REGARDING 2012 AND FUTURE ANNUAL MEETING PROGRAMS:
The 2012 ACJS Annual Meeting will be the last meeting to offer printed programs to attendees.  Beginning in 2013, all programs will be distributed to attendees on flash drives.  The full meeting program will continue to be available on the ACJS website.

To ease this transition, for 2012, ACJS will offer attendees a choice of a printed program OR a flash drive.  Attendees will be allowed only one choice; however, everyone will be able to view and print the entire program from the ACJS website. Please be aware that if you come later in the week to the conference, your first choice of program style may not be available at that point.  All programs and flash drives will be distributed first come, first serve, based on arrival at the onsite registration area.  We hope that you will appreciate ACJS’s commitment to “go green” by eliminating printed programs beginning in 2013!

Call for Presentations, Invitation to Participate, and Abstract Submission System:
The Submission Deadline for the 2012 meeting has passed.  Thank you for your abstract submissions.

PLEASE NOTE:  LCD projections will be available in the meeting rooms.  No overhead projectors or computers will be provided.  Additional audio-visual equipment is the responsibility of the presenter.  Individuals wanting additional equipment must either bring equipment to the conference or make the necessary rental arrangements through the hotel audio-visual provider.
