In addition, the Chair provides a Program Overview which is a list of meeting topics along with sessions that address each topic. SIAM assembles the program and meeting rooms are assigned. The Conference Director works with the Chair and the Program Manager to facilitate this task. The preliminary program is circulated for final review and approval.
Inquiries regarding speaker needs for audio visual equipment is included in the mailing.
