My MW Schedule Prognostications
Please be not fooled by the paucity of events and overlaps thereof, I have several instances of being 8-12 events deep at a given hour — *which I cannot attend due to having (or really wanting) to be at these listed below* (asterisks indicate the session I’m most likely to attend when there is an overlap on this list)
Any suggestions on juicy receptions with free food are, of course, welcome. It’s a crime against one’s wallet to pay for more than one meal at a conference…
