For security reasons, this ADVISORY COPY does NOT contain room locations. It does include titles, names of speakers and descriptions or all sessions by day and hour. Each delegate will get an official program at registration upon arrival at campus that WILL include room assignments and a campus map.As you plan possible sessions to attend once on campus, remember we must strictly enforce posted room capacity limits for classrooms. The University requires that CSPA staff check delegate badges at room entrances and close rooms once all seats are filled. No standees are allowed, per NYFD regulations. So pick a back-up room when making advance choices on what sessions to attend.
Here are some highlighted sessions that require you to bring additional items to get the most out of the convention.

The Power of Light by Mark Murray on Wednesday at 11 a.m. (requires a digital camera). Open to students and advisers.

Student Swap Shops several hours during each day (requires copies of your publications to exchange with other students). Open only to students.
