Program
Overview
The CTC2010 meeting will last three and a half days, beginning on Friday, May 7 with a half day pre-meeting about the collaborative cross. We will have a 1 hour cocktail reception Friday night at Omni Hotel. The following three days will have a mixture of 60 minute keynote addresses from invited speakers, side talks drawn from submitted abstracts and organized loosely into sessions, and 2 poster sessions. Two evening computer/software demos will be held in the Omni Hotel. On Monday the closing banquet will be a dinner cruise aboard a ship on Lake Michigan. The schedule below is still under development. If you would like to help to organize the scientific program please use the "contact" link in the upper right.
