Note: André may be presenting by video. It is wonderful that videos will be available for viewers, and the videos will be posted on the presentation web pages no matter what happens with the Live Streaming presentations. Steve, Adam and I will be finding a way to make the Live broadcast work well. If the videos can be shown during a Live Streaming session without losing quality we can show them during the streaming sessions, or maybe there is another way to direct viewers to the video posted on YouTube so they receive a better viewing experience…I will keep you informed …

Presenters who have not given their preference yet, see scheduling information below...
