Last Revised, 01/04/2023

The following is a draft of SCS paper sessions, panels, seminars, and workshops at the 2023 hybrid annual meeting. The schedule is subject to change. Please note that all times listed are CST.

All paper sessions, panels, and workshops will be hybrid with the opportunity for onsite and virtual participants and speakers. We also plan to make the Plenary Session (including the awards ceremony), Presidential Panel, and CAMP play hybrid. Social events and roundtables will be either in-person or virtual, and there may be some special events that have either an in-person or virtual format. We will contact presenters and organizers in the Fall regarding their preferred mode of presentation. Plans regarding individual events are subject to change. We will post regular updates here and add events through the Fall.
