IMPORTANT NOTE

APRICOT is a TECHNICAL conference.
The program committee is charged with maintaining the technical standard of APRICOT, and will therefore not accept inappropriate materials. It is the expectation of both the selection committe and the audience that the presenter be a technically adept.

TUTORIALS

Tutorials are full-day workshops (4 sessions of 90 min. in length) which focus on a particular subject in-depth. They may be presented by a single Instructor, or a team of instructors working together.

TECHNICAL CONFERENCE SESSIONS

The APRICOT Technical Conference Schedule is made up of 1.5 hour conference sessions, each including up to 3 speakers (therefore allowing 20-30 minutes per speaker). Sessions are chaired by persons of appropriate expertise in the subject matter of the session, and will include ample time for questions from the audience.

FUNDING AND SUPPORT

Only in exceptional circumstances of hardship will APRICOT be able to consider assisting with travel expenses of conference speakers or tutorial instructors. Registration fees will be waived for presenters to attend the portion of the program they are speaking in.
