Thanks to all who submitted the more than 170 abstracts. About 135 will be receiving notice of abstract acceptance, many will be asked to be alternates in the event someone else is unable to attend.
We received abstracts from 10 states (Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington) and all 10 states will be represented in the technical program. Monday and Tuesday technical sessions will be held at the Egan Convention Center. Wednesday's sessions will be at the Anchorage Hilton Hotel.
We received 18 student papers, 20 faculty papers, 28 papers from government and agencies, and the rest from private entities (consultants and vendors/manufacturers).
Look for notice of abstract acceptance this week.
Thanks to Stephanie Mormillo of HDL Alaska LLC, Scott Thomas of Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities and Mitsuru Saito of Brigham Young University for assisting the technical co-chairs, Randy Kinney of Kinney Engineering and Osama Abaza of the University of Alaska Anchorage in making the selections.
Presenters please make your reservations early -- July in Alaska is peak tourist time!
