  • A copy of the final program can be downloaded here.

  • MOST (not all, quite yet) of the main speaker's powerpoint notes are available for download below. Sorry, several people had asked that we replicate all handouts and have them available prior to the conference: Typically, presenters don't have materials to us in time to do this for our conferences, or we'd have provided.
