Program

You can donwload the conference program in PDF format in two versions: at-a-glance (a printed version will also be distributed in the conference bags at check-in time) or detailed (16 pages!).

Most sessions will be held in Clayton Hall and one will be held in Pencader (click here for the floormaps).

For information on the Graduate Student Symposium and other side events, visit the Side Events page.

The posters will be on display in the lobby throughout Tuesday 9/20, including in the evening during the Cocktail Reception. Each poster will be mounted on a core board of dimensions 30″ x 40″ (or flipped 40″ x 30″) that sits on an easel.

Speakers giving presentations in the parallel sessions are required to bring their own laptops. Bringing your own adapters is recommended, as a limited number of them will be available at the conference. Each talk should last at most 15 minutes, with 3 minutes for Q&A, and 2 minutes for transitions. If you cannot use your own laptop, contact your Session Chair ASAP.

Speakers giving plenary presentations are required to upload their presentations on a Google Drive (link will be provided by Track Leads) and will not be able to use their own laptops.

All planery sessions will be broadcast for free via a Zoom webinar (follow the the link to the individual plenary session in the table below to find the Zoom registration link).
