Refer to the Program Schedule for a daily listing of all sessions and evening social activities. Session presiders should ensure that sessions start and end on time to avoid conflicts with subsequent activities and to allow attendees time to transition to the next session or activity.
There will be plenty of networking and social opportunities as well. Registrants will be able to invite other registrants and schedule live video meetings throughout the conference. These meetings can be one on one or with up to 30 meeting participants. The program also includes several free unprogrammed timeslots with live video meetings (Zoom links) for those who want to use them.
