Map out your goals: For first time conference attendees the experience can seem overwhelming. If you’re wondering how to navigate the many sessions and discussion groups, consider focusing on a few topics that interest you, instead of trying to participate in everything. Be sure to discuss with your supervisor, before departing, to ensure you are attending the appropriate sessions. Please visit the Program to learn more.
Volunteer: We are always looking for volunteers to help at the conference. This is a great way to be seen and to meet others including some of the many presenters. Please click HERE to see a list of our volunteer opportunities!
