Handouts - QUEST is Environmental Friendly
To be environmental friendly by saving trees, copies of presentation slides WILL NOT be distributed in the track breakout sessions nor the EXPO Theatre. Handouts will only be provided to the attendees of Monday and Tuesday tutorials and the keynote presentations.
If you need to have a hard copy of the presentation at the conference, as an alternative, you can print copies of the presentation slides from the secured page of the QUEST Toronto website and bring the hard copy to the conference. Visit: http://www.qaiquest.org/torontoRegistration/toronto_registration_content.asp
At the conference you will receive a USB drive that contains all the conference presentations. The Hilton Toronto Hotel has a Business Center on-site that you can use to print copies at your own expense.
