The table below is a summary listing of all sessions and events currently scheduled.
- The preliminary program including listings of paper titles and speakers can be found here.
- All times are CST.
- There are two session blocks each day for panels and paper sessions. There will also be affiliated group, departmental, and special events.
- Session blocks are three hours long but we realize many sessions may be shorter and we encourage all to aim for shorter sessions to combat Zoom fatigue.
- We would like to give everyone the opportunity to present live but realize that some organizers of panels and individual presenters of papers in paper sessions may opt to pre-record.
