The Schedule

As budgets grow ever tighter, we’re offering more sessions for your money than ever before. Below are the nearly 60 SND sessions planned for the main days of the Workshop.

And remember, your SND registration gets you into any APME or APPM session that doesn’t include a meal. As we confirm them, we will layer in APME and APPM sessions as well as any “bonus” SND sessions on Wednesday morning.

We will endeavor to keep the schedule as close to what you see here as possible. But we reserve the right to make drop or add sessions, change descriptions, times or speakers as required by changing circumstances.
