Registration and booking Registration, abstract submission and booking (including payment by credit card) commences on Monday 14th July 2014. Abstract submission closes at midnight on Friday 19th September 2014; abstracts submitted after this date will not be considered. Registration after Friday 3rd October 2014 will incur an additional administration charge of £25.00. The final deadline for registration is Friday 14th November 2014. Registrations and bookings will be taken on a strictly first-come-first- served basis. No refunds will be available after the final deadline. Registration, abstract submission, booking and payment (by credit card) will be through online forms available on the Palaeontological Association website (<http://www.palass.org/>). Please note that all these transactions will be in sterling (£:GBP). Accommodation must be booked separately (see below). The cost of registration is the same as last year. Early registration is £90.00 for ordinary and retired members; £60.00 for students; and £120.00 for non-members. Registration costs include sandwich lunches on Wednesday and Thursday, the icebreaker reception on Wednesday evening, full registration package and tea/coffee from Tuesday through to Thursday. The Annual Dinner event costs £45.00. It will be held at the Leeds City Museum, which is five minutes’ walk downtown from the University. The evening’s festivities will include a drinks reception followed by a three-course meal including carvery and vegetarian option. Due to the size of the venue numbers are limited to 250. Oral presentations All speakers (apart from the symposium speakers) will be allocated 15 minutes. You should therefore prepare a 12 minute talk to allow time for questions and switching between presenters. On the second day of the meeting we are using a number of parallel sessions in adjacent theatres so timing will be especially important. All the lecture theatres will have a single A/V projector linked to a large screen (e.g. <http://www.teachingspace.leeds.ac.uk/room_details.asp?ID=1-01- 086-2486-GM-GM01>, and <http://www.teachingspace.leeds.ac.uk/room_details.asp?ID=1-01- 086-2810-10M-22>). All presentations should be submitted and checked the day before they are scheduled. The University of Leeds is PC-based, so Mac-based presentations may cause problems, particularly if animations are included. If you are using a Mac please make sure your presentation is PC compatible before you leave your institution. Poster presentations Poster boards will accommodate an A0-sized poster presented in portrait format. The boards will not be suitable for posters of this size in landscape format. Materials to fix the poster to the boards will be available at the meeting. Palaeontological Association 2 ANNUAL MEETING Venue and travel The conference will take place in the campus of the University of Leeds, which is located just to the North of Leeds city centre.
