If there are glass slides for a conference, they will be available for study in the microscope room in the Convention Center Room 101 for participants who wish to review them prior to the evening session.

Handouts for all Specialty Conferences will be accessible via the "Educational Materials" section on the homepage the morning after each respective conference. Printed copies of the handout will not be available at the meeting.
