AGENDA
The main agenda items are as identified in the features list above. Timing details will be coming soon, as we continue to collect registration information and nail down details of how to effectively enhance access/participation across timezones for everyone involved.
We have worked hard to ensure that all registrants around the world will be able to access the talks and poster content and participate in a substantial amount of poster session interaction. Talks within the agenda may still shift around, but the current plan is as follows (all times EDT):
