Audiovisual Requirements

The Speaker Ready Room is located in Room 207 of the John B. Hynes Convention Center.

You are REQUIRED to use the official ISA disclosure slide at the beginning of your presentation. The template slide can be downloaded at www.isa2009.org/disclosure_slide.ppt. In addition, you are expected to verbally disclose during your presentation.
We recommend that the background material be covered in 1-2 slides only. We want you to focus as much as possible on your latest findings.
If you or your co-authors have a last name that is often mispronounced, please speak directly with one of the chairpersons at the time of your session. If necessary, please provide a phonetic guide written out on an index card.

Prepare a label for the top of your poster space indicating title and authors. Lettering should not be less than one and one half inches. Illustrations should be similar to those you would use for making slides but more heavily drawn.

There will be a Poster Presenter Check-in desk located just inside of Exhibit Hall C. Please pick up your poster presenter ribbon and pushpins at this desk on the morning of your assigned poster presentation day.

Continuing Medical Education
Please note that all abstracts for oral presentations will be reviewed by the CME accrediting organization, the National Lipid Association, for scientific content validation and all related disclosures for conflict of interest. If it appears that a conflict of interest may exist, you will be requested to submit your slides for review three (3) weeks prior to the meeting date.

Abstract Embargo
In compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure), the accepted abstracts are made available to the public on the ISA 2009 Web site in advance of the meeting. Thus, the first release of the abstracts is a public release. Coverage of additional research being presented at the ISA 2009 is under embargo until the date of presentation.

Academic institutions, private organizations, and companies with products whose value may be influenced by information contained in an abstract may issue a press release to coincide with the availability of an abstract. However, the ISA 2009 continues to require that information that goes beyond that contained within the abstract, e.g., discussion of the abstract done as part of a scientific presentation, is to be embargoed until the start of the scientific sessions. Violation of this policy may result in the abstract being withdrawn from the meeting and other measures deemed appropriate. Journalists failing to abide by the embargo may have their press credentials revoked.
