I have compiled all of the Tokyo Chapter presentations for JALT2009. Please have a look by following the link at the bottom of the message following the "attachment has been scrubbed" wording. The .pdf file has references to page numbers in the Conference Handbook, which has the abstract for the presentation. The Conference Handbook is downloadable from: Some page numbers will seem out of order, but that is because the presentations, poster sessions and the Graduate Student Showcase are in separate sections. Presentations with multiple presenters have the individual presenters listed in alphabetical order, regardless of the handbook order. If there were many presenters, then an "& others" entry may be found. Finally, many of the listed co-presenters are not Tokyo Chapter members, but in each listed presentation at least one person is in our Chapter. If you are presenting, please check to make sure your entry is correct. If necessary I will send out an updated version. In any case, a glance at the presentations will help you find your friends or at least see what other people in the Tokyo area are doing. I imagine that this information will be useful for your professional development. I was very impressed by the great number of intriguing presentations and am sure you will be as well.
