Symposium - Opening Day
It may have been the only day in the past week when it didn't rain - and for that we were very grateful. This is what the opening day of symposium registration looked like just before 9am on June 25th. During the first day we filled over 750 spaces in workshops, lectures and events. Thanks to everyone for their patience and perseverance during opening day.
