Networking

In response to feedback in past years, we are implementing conference one-on-one meeting software to facilitate networking among attendees. This system has its own messaging capabilities, so your personal contact information will not be shared unless you choose to include it. The software will be available in late January and will allow you to request and schedule meetings with other attendees. If you choose not to be included in this software, you will neither have access to the system, nor be shown as an attendee to those wishing to network with you.
