JAGS Abstract Supplement
Research abstracts accepted for presentation will be published in an electronic supplement to the April 2012 issue of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. Click HERE to read the abstracts. All abstracts are available to meeting attendees electronically on the AGS website (here). In an effort to “go green” we will no longer be providing a copy of the JAGS abstract supplement in the meeting registration bags. If you would like a hard copy of the JAGS Abstract Supplement, you may purchase a copy during the meeting registration process for an additional $10 charge to cover the cost of printing. 

Poster Schedule
In an effort to highlight the research presented at the meeting and to provide more time for attendees to view all of the posters, all abstracts selected as posters will be displayed on either Thursday or Friday (May 3-4) for the entire time that the Exhibit Hall is open, instead of just for 90 minutes as we have done in the past.  We will continue to have scheduled Poster Sessions where one of the authors will be at the poster to discuss the results of their research with attendees and answer questions.  During the remaining hours the posters will be available for viewing per the schedule below.
