Invited Attendee Information
(From Letter of Invitation)

If you intend to present a poster at the conference, a brief abstract will be required for inclusion in the abstract booklet that will be distributed at the meeting. Abstract lengths are limited to two pages in a pdf format using the 9”x 6” style of World Scientific http://www.worldscientific.com/style/proceedings_style.shtml . Abstracts should be sent to Dietrich Leibfried dil@boulder.nist.gov before May 1, and sooner is better.

Following the now 30+ year tradition, the ICOLS-07 proceedings will be published as a hardbound book that contains summaries of all of the invited talks. This year, along with the books we will also compile a DVD that contains images (pdf) of the ICOLS-07 posters that participants wish to contribute. The poster images will be collected at the conference. ICOLS poster sessions are an essential part of the conference and the DVD of poster images will provide a much more complete record of the meeting than would the book alone.

Most importantly, If you will be coming from outside the U.S. please use this your letter of invitation to apply for any visas that may be required for entry to the U.S. Please note that there will be opportunities to visit research laboratories in Boulder before and/or after the conference so your visa should take into account any additional days. Given the heightened levels of security in the U.S. we strongly encourage you to apply for visas as soon as possible to avoid potential problems caused by processing delays. If you prefer a hard copy of this your letter of invitation, please send your request to the ICOLS secretary Lisa Barnes (lbarnes@boulder.nist.gov) and she will send that to you by mail.

Please do not hesitate to contact any of us if you have questions, foresee any problems or need additional information. Thank you again for your participation and important contributions to ICOLS-07. We are looking forward to seeing you in Telluride.
