Like I said, it wasn't really a very serious suggestion ... I think it's just a fact of life for the organizing committee, but it's just stressful when there are 3 days to go to the deadline and you only have 60 abstracts and are worried you may not have a viable conference, did we publicize things enough, etc etc.<br>

Though a potential future enhancement would be to have some sort of weighting for those who submit earlier, to try to encourage everyone not to wait until the last day :).<br>

</div></div>It's a neat idea to bring in abstracts sooner, as long as submitters know there is that parameter. Wouldn't be too fair this year would it, nor would it help guarantee the best quality program at this point in time at least._______________________________________________</blockquote>
