minutes in length followed by an additional 5 minute
question/answer period.
•
Posters
are
displayed during the opening reception and throughout the second
day of the conference with the attendant author(s) hosting
informal sessions about their work.

Workshops
are 90 minute sessions
which allow for interactive learning around
