PLEASE NOTE: In moving to a virtual format, the agenda for this meeting has been streamlined to provide a shorter and more concise experience. In doing so, some sessions that were originally offered for the in-person meeting is now only being offered on the Jan 25 virtual meeting instead. Please review the updated agenda for this session as well as the Jan 25 session so that you may ensure you can attend your desired sessions of interest on the correct day.
If you can attend both virtual meetings, we strongly encourage you to do so by registering for the Jan 25 session. If you can’t join us for one of those days, video replays will be made available afterwards.
