PREPARING YOUR EARCOS CONFERENCE PLAN

ETC2007 in Bangkok is just around the corner and as there are so many sessions to consider during your time at EARCOS this form will provide you with a single page printout of what sessions you are planning to attend during the three day conference.  In addition, your selections will help both TAS and EARCOS determine what sessions, topics and presenters seem interesting and popular to participants.  This tool will also allow both TAS and EARCOS to look back after the conference to seek feedback from you about the value of the sessions you attended.  This should take you a few minutes to complete but it should begin to get you thinking about the tremendous opportunities available next week.
