Topics & Core Audiences

This year, we are excited to announce two different ways to find the best sessions for your needs -- Choose by Topic

or Choose by Core Audience. All sessions are specially designed for you to get the most out of the conference, and you will be able to customize the type of conference experience you want! A session website link will be available Spring, 2024 so you can plan your experience before the first day of the conference.
