The schedule this year will ensure there are minimal concurrent sessions, and our keynote address will kick off first day of conference. Sessions this year will feature a more modern educational presentation on targeted topics in two formats:
- Day One will offer 25-minute educational Ted Talk-style sessions
- Day Two will have 90-minute hands on workshops.
