Program Schedule Snapshot

Program Snapshot

This first virtual CCFFR-SCL conference will be different from the in-person conferences we are accustomed to, with a combination of live and pre-recorded (“on demand”) content to maximize participation and exchange of information among the 400+ registrants from six time zones.

The schedule below is for the live events, including 15 Q&A Discussion Panels dedicated to each of our symposium themes. The 250 contributed talks and posters associated with these sessions have been pre-recorded and will be available on the CCFFR-SCL Virtual Meeting Site for viewing by registrants “at their leisure” starting on Monday, 8 February. To get the most out of the Q&A sessions you are interested in, we encourage you to view the presentations of interest before attending the Q&A session, but the recordings will be available until March 31.

All times are Central Time (Central Time Zone).
