The conference registration will be open at the conference hotel Tuesday 9:00-10:00 am and 4:00-6:00 pm, and during the main conference days from 8:00 am to the end of sessions.  If possible, register early to avoid the queue on Wednesday.

For authors presenting a poster, this is the dimensions available for your use:

Maximum size is 42 inches wide and 42 inches tall.  You may format your poster any size smaller than this at your own discretion.

We are sorry to inform that the organizers of the workshop Data quality: how it is measured, what it affects, and how to achieve have decided to cancel the workshop. Instead we will organize an impromptu half-day workshop open for all ETRA participants  (no additional fee) on Tuesday March 25. This workshop will be a place to meet and discuss data quality issues, the content of the workshop will be dependent on the issues the participants bring to it. We hope that this workshop can serve as a starting point to discuss data quality issues. The workshop will be open to all ETRA participants who wishes to participate, when if you did not register for the workshop. If you are interested in the workshop, please email etra.conference@gmail.com so you can be added to the workshop email list for updates before the conference.

At ETRA 2014 there are opportunities to participate still open. If you are (or have) graduate student, consider applying for our Doctoral Symposium (more information here). If you have a system that you want to show off, consider doing a demo at ETRA 2014 or submit a longer video showing your technology (more information here).

We are currently looking for motivated student volunteers that can help just  before, during and after  the symposium. The lucky /accepted  volunteers will be given full admittance to ETRA 2014 including the conference dinner.

Please send a short CV including a list of publications and a 250 words abstract of your research focus to etra.conference@gmail.com  before 20. December  if you are interested in volunteering.   

ETRA 2014 will be the eighth biennial symposium in a series that focuses on all aspects of eye movement research across a wide range of disciplines.
