Program

Technical Program

Thank you for the strong response to our Call for Abstracts. Submissions are now closed, and the technical committee is working diligently to develop a high-quality technical program. The program will be released at the end of February.

Please note that the technical program will run over three full days of presentations (Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday). We encourage attendees to plan their travel and book their accommodations accordingly.

Over the course of the convention, participants will engage in focused learning, technical exchange, and professional development. By attending the morning plenaries and technical sessions, delegates may earn up to 16.25 professional development (CPD) hours.
