Each presenter will be responsible for a 20-minute presentation, for a combined total of 60-minutes per panel, followed by 30 minutes for discussion and questions addressed to the panel. Speakers who propose a panel topic are responsible for arranging who will participate in the proposed panel. Only one abstract should be submitted per topic.
