1. Information Technology Exchange Meeting A New Decade in Support of Science Silence is Golden…. This is an atmosphere for learning - so please make EVERY effort to minimize distractions by observing the following rules: Silence cell phones/BlackBerries/SmartPhones. If you must take a call – step out of the room. Quietly return to your seat when finished. During the presentation, laptops or messaging devices should only be used in case of emergency. Thank you!
