notification will be sent to presenters informing them when the schedule has been finalized and directing
them to its location.
Q. I haven't been told which Minisymposia I will be presenting at, will I still be giving a talk?

Help for Minisymposia Organizers
Q. Where is the website to manage my Minisymposia?
A. Here is the LINK to the manager's website.
Q. How do I set the order of the talks?
A. Please email usnccm9-manager-2@me.berkeley.edu with the desired order. All that is needed is the title of each talk and please indicate which, if any, are keynote lectures.
Q. The link on the email does not work.
A. Some email browsers break the website address into two different lines and only the first line is used as the address. You need to make sure that the entire address goes into the browser. You may also use the link above or from our main page to access the site.
Q. What am I supposed to do on the manager's website?
A. You can view all abstracts submitted to your Minisymposium. If you are organizing multiple Minisymposiums there is a scroll down menu for you to select which one you would like to view. Now that the abstract submission process is closed, you need to determine the order of your talks.
Q. I don't have my login information.
A. Your login information should have be emailed to you around the middle of February. Your password will also be included in each abstract emailed to you. You can find it at the very bottom of the email. Use this password along with the email address where you received the message to long in. If you still do not have your login information, please contact the manager for your Minisymposia (see below) and ask them to resend it to you.
