Barcelona Deadline Draws Closer

For those who want to present a paper or poster at the AAPG international meeting in Barcelona, Spain, now is the time to get serious about your effort.

The abstract deadline for the 2003 Barcelona meeting is Dec. 12.

"Crossroads of Geology, Energy and Cultures" is the theme for the international conference and exhibition, which will be held Sept. 21-24. Hosts are the Institut Cartografic de Catalunya. The general chairman is Jorge/Jordi Ferrer, Exxon Annuitant, Barcelona.

Planning committee members hope to provide a technical program of 350-400 presentations over the three days, covering a range of issues relevant to petroleum professionals all over the world.

The main technical themes are:

• Crossroads of Regional Geology.
• Crossroads of Field Geology.
• Crossroads of Business and Energy Transport.
• Crossroads of Technology.
• Other Technical Topics (student poster session).

Speakers will have 30 minutes for their talks, including time for questions. Poster sessions will use an "informal presentation format," with electrical outlets available for those who want to include a computer- or video-based presentation.
