With a Focus to the Future – Top Science from Top Scientists

This is YOUR meeting and YOUR science and we continue to find new ways to share with you the excellent scientific content that will be presented at this centennial meeting.

In addition to the traditional…

• Symposia – aimed at optimal knowledge transfer through regular 20-minute talks with time for topical questions.
• Science Cafés – a combination of shorter or more elaborate position talks with debate and discussion.
• Technical Sessions – featured 20-minute talks covering new scientific insights and technological advancements in the field.
• Hot Topics – hot off the news…these sessions provide the latest information and updates on new and developing topics in the industry.

And we are continuing…

• Conversations Matter – presentations/conversations with the goal of providing more engagement/conversation in the topic/discussion area between the presenter and the audience to allow for a more meaningful exchange of content and conversation.
• Special Sessions – unique topics that vary from professional development to the workplace to the science.

And we are adding NEW…

• Deep Dives – your opportunity to dive deep into trending topic areas with selected experts.
• Science on the Move – taking the scientific session outside the traditional meeting room.
