Conference Site
 All activities are held at the Christopher S. Bond Life Sciences Center, University of Missouri– Columbia. For MapQuest directions use this link.
Posters
 All attendees are allowed to bring one poster for display. Poster presentations in any area of Plant Proteomics are invited. Posters should be no more than 4 feet square in size. Abstracts are due May 15, 2009. Additional speakers will be selected from those submitting abstracts early - by April 14, 2009.
Meals
 Participants will be on their own for meals.
Accommodations
 Attendees will be responsible for making hotel accommodations. Columbia has many affordable hotels, but few within walking distance to the MU Life Sciences Center. Below are some recommendations.
Hampton Inn & Suites (at the University of Missouri – Columbia) - about a 15 min walk from the Life Sciences Center
  1225 Fellow’s Place, Columbia, Missouri 65201 (573) 214-2222
Stoney Creek Inn – a less expensive alternative, but not within walking distance of the LSC. We will work on providing shuttle vans.
