Please note that for each set of parallel sessions, attendees will be  assigned to a specific session based on their stated interests during registration. We do this to maximize attendance for each set of presenters. Also, we tried to avoid scheduling session topics at the same time for which people's interest levels were correlated.

The schedule is subject to change.
