This includes three (3) pre-recorded sessions launched during the conference. One session on each of the three days. These sessions will be selected by feedback from the proposal selection committee, presenters' availability, and a survey gauging conference-goers interests. One (1) plenary aired live and two (2) post-conference live webinars featuring the sessions FORUM attendees liked the best based on a post-conference survey. Registration for the virtual component to FORUM will open in early 2024. All FORUM attendees will have access to the virtual component programming and material.
