INFORMATION ON SPEAKERS 

Tentative speakers will be posted to the speaker page on the website as they become available. This page will, for each speaker, give the speaker’s name, institution, and talk title. Presenters may provide a short bio, picture (optional but highly encouraged), and a link to a website or an optional page if they wish to display more information. The listing of tentative speakers is alphabetical, and will be hyperlinked from the speaker’s name on the agenda.
