Young Researcher Travel Awards
The funds for travel awards were limited this year and there were  
hundreds of deserving applications.  The Executive Program Team has  
been able to offer partial funding for a number of applicants.   
Congratulations everyone!

If you did not receive a travel award email you were not selected for  
an award this year.  However, if additional funding becomes available  
more travel award recipients will be selected.  Due to the high volume  
of emails, inquiries regarding additional travel awards will not  
receive a response.  Selected recipients will be contacted directly if  
more awards are available.

Lightning Talks
32 exciting Lightning Talks have been selected from many applicants  
with very interesting abstracts.  Lightning Talks will presented in  
the afternoon of day one during SB6.0.

Poster Presentations
Many poster presentation invitations have gone out and we are  
continuing to send invitations.  We had an overwhelming response to  
the call for abstracts this year and there were hundreds of  
submissions for a few hundred poster exhibition spots.  The remainder  
of the poster presentation invitations will go out this week.  You  
will be contacted via email if your abstract has been selected, we ask  
that you be patient and wait to hear from us.

Registration spots have been reserved for those receiving poster  
presentation invitations.  If selected, you will receive specific  
instructions on how to register.

Program
More confirmed speakers have been added to the SB6.0 website.  The  
full program schedule will be announced in May.

A big THANK YOU to the Executive and International Program Teams for  
selecting amazing speakers and for reviewing 505 submitted abstracts  
for lightning talks, travel awards, and poster presentations.
