While I hope you're right, I don't know that this close to the conference they allow the Abstract to be updated. Presentations are a different matter, they can be up to the minute and may not reflect what's in the abstract at all.
I believe the fact that we've been given a plenary presentation at SNO is a solid indication of what they're anticipating, it will be the highlight of the conference. I doubt very much if any other presentation there will hold a candle to the sort of results Dr. Liau will be announcing.
Once the conference ends I believe we'll either be able to see the entire presentation on the corporate site, or they'll at minimum summarize what was presented. I don't know what the SNO rules may be regarding how presentations are to be handled post conference. If may be that the company is free to discuss what's presented as soon as the presentation is completed, I've seen that be the case at other technical conferences, while others insist on the conference being complete before anything is released.
If this weren't a virtual conference the company would probably have had a host room after the presentation where attendees could be entertained and ask questions directly with the presenters and others at the company. There are some positive things coming out of virtual conferences, but it's still leaves a lot to be desired when compared to being able to speak directly with attendees during the entire conference, not just during the presentation if they have a Q & A, and perhaps not at all if they don't.
I suspect that in the future, participants may be able to select virtual as one way to attend, perhaps even pay by events for a limited number of presentations they're permitted to observe. I know my Dr. at City of Hope has told me in attending ASH he goes for certain presentations, when they're over he's ready to leave even if the conference has days left to go. I'm sure others want to be there for the entire conference, and every party, etc. they can be invited to.
It looks like we may be headed for green as we go into the last half hour of trading, while in the long run it doesn't matter, in the short run it's nice to have green days.
