2020 Conference Program

The program for this year’s conference on November 6th is now finalized. The full schedule is summarized in the table below. To obtain additional information on a session, click on the title (which is linked to the detailed submission on ConfEngine).

Post-conference, links to videos, slides and other available resources have been added for many of the sessions. Note that the workshops were not recorded due to limitations on Hopin; we’ve added links to other reference materials where available. We’ll continue to add links for videos and files as we identify them.

Thanks to everyone who submitted a proposal and helped to contribute to a great program for this year’s conference!
