Preliminary Schedule

In addition to the plenary sessions, the program includes more than 600 original symposia, workshops, papers, and posters (open to all registrants). The SSWR Board strongly recommends that organizational meetings as well as recruiting and interviewing for
academic positions be conducted when presentations are not in session in order to foster maximum participation in the conference.
