**Important Note: the first presentation (keynote address) begins at 10am.  However, registration/check-in starts at 9:15am.  We ask that you arrive between 9:15 and 9:45am to check in before the start of the programs.  Thank you!

Registration
Registration for this event is required.  Registering will enable your participation in the full symposium, which runs from 10:00am – 2:30pm on March 19th.  This will include a keynote address, two periods of interactive breakout sessions and a full lunch and closing ceremony.

Selecting Breakout Sessions
There will be two periods of breakout sessions.  Each period will have three sections from which you can select.  These three sections will be repeated twice so you will be able to participate in two of the three sections during the symposium.

You will select which breakout sessions to attend when fillling out the registration form (you’ll be directed to this form after selecting your ticket and clicking “Register”).  Make sure to complete this form and indicate the two breakout sessions you wish to attend.

Please note: We will do our best to accommodate your interests, however space is limited for each section and we will cap the sections on a first-come, first-serve basis.

La Salle is located at 1900 W. Olney Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19141.
