The meeting will take place on three days in hybrid format. Presentations will be live, with substantial discussion time and recorded for offline (re-)viewing. A choice of contributed abstract will be selected for spotlight presentations. All program abstracts are available here.
Posters (online and in presence) are on show all time, questions for online posters can be posted as comments. Discussion time with poster presenters planned on Day 2.
All times in Bethesda, MD time (EST), see time conversion table below for other time zones.
