Spring Conference Agenda (CONF2009)
If there is a download icon () to the left of the workshop, the presentation has been posted on line. Most of these are in Microsoft Powerpoint. Click on the icon to download the presentation.

Also, if there is a sound recording, you will see the podcast icon () as well. To "experience" the workshop, you may want to download the Powerpoint before starting up the sound file so you can advance the slides as the speaker moves through the presentation. Podcasts are in MP3 format and will open in a pop-up window. If you have pop-up windows disabled, you will want to enable them for NARMS.com.
