Emergent Sessions

(formerly 'open meeting' sessions)
We will continue to offer emergent meeting capabilities. Rather than devoting a single day to this concept, this capability will be offered during the entire meeting. There will be space available for attendees to gather on the fly, around a table to have a discussion about a timely topic. This capability will be supported by the tweet stream, on-site postings and announcements during meeting gatherings.

Social Media and Virtual Participation
