Reviewers and Discipline Categories
All sessions will take place at the Oregon Convention Center.
In addition to the Topical Sessions, there will be quite a few discipline categories for which you can submit an abstract. Discipline sessions are equally vital to our technical program, so check the following discipline categories, and please feel free to contact the JTPC member associated with your discipline if you have any questions regarding your abstract.
