Format
The majority of sessions will be devoted to a single paper. All the papers will be made available to those who have registered a week before the conference starts. These sessions will begin with prepared comments, to which the paper’s author can respond before the session becomes open for questions and discussion. There will also be a small number of panel events with multiple speakers.
