Unlike many conferences, CombiCat2002 selects speakers through invitation on key subjects. However, as part of the interactive process of insuring that we have the latest and best coverage globally, we are asking you to inform us if you have an important contribution for an oral presentation on one of the topic areas listed below. Please complete the appropriate section on the reply form and return it with a short abstract to The Catalyst Group Resources. Instructions and deadlines for biography and manuscript preparation and submission will be sent to you upon acceptance of your topic.
