Every session is good, but it's OK to walk out

Every session in the conference is good. But not every session may be relevant to you and your program.

If, after the first 10 minutes, a session is not meeting your needs, simply get up and go to another. We’ve got plenty of advanced, practical sessions for you.

Tough choices

The biggest complaint from conference participants: too many good sessions to choose from. We like that “complaint.”

If the session is filled sit on the floor, or attend another terrific session. We have plenty of other great sessions.

New! Sessions

We have 18 new concurrent sessions today, and 14 classic favorite sessions.
