Round Table Sessions

Back by popular demand! 

We are excited to, once again, offer Round Table Sessions from 8:00am - 9:00am to registered attendees*!

These sessions will be led by experts in their field, and will provide attendees with the opportunity to discuss important topics in academia in an interactive setting. Space is limited, so attendance will be confirmed on a first-come-first-served basis. 

Click on each drawer below to explore the Round Table topics and to see who will be moderating each session.
