There are four special Table Topics specifically designed for newcomers . Several Pre-Forum Workshops focus on specific IR topics and skills. On the social side, be sure to take note of the Saturday night Early Bird Reception, Sunday evening Forum Reception, Monday night Special Event, the International Coffee and International Symposium on Monday, the Forum Awards Luncheon on Wednesday, and the wind-up party Wednesday evening. This is an opportunity for newcomers to mingle with other Forum attendees. We plan on having some fun activities and you ll also have the opportunity to hook up with a dinner group here.
Many people find it helpful to plan a tentative schedule ahead of time.
Here you will find listings of Forum presentations and events which you can preview, build a schedule on-line and then print it out. Use the Preliminary Program Book to highlight panels and presentations of interest to you. Then go on-line and enter these into the scheduler for a targeted schedule. Final programs will also be available at the Forum in your registration packet. When planning your schedule, keep in mind that presentations are subject to change so consider having backups.
