Why the long schedule?

For the virtual format, the organizers wanted to make sure that the timing of live sessions would work for as many people as possible without eliminating opportunities to present. To accommodate multiple time zones, we needed to compress the daily schedule and extend the meeting for additional days. If you can’t attend every day, don’t worry—you won’t need to miss any talks! Recordings of all Plenary and Platform sessions will be available to registrants for 30 days after the conference ends.
