IMPORTANT NOTICE:

• If you select two or more consecutive/overlapping time slots, we will make sure that you have time for a meal and/or breaks.
• Please consult the full congress schedule to make your session choices.

Agreement with Volunteers: The principle of this agreement is that a volunteer is invited to attend the conference at no charge in exchange of a minimum of 16 hours of volunteer time, between Tuesday Oct. 18 and Friday Oct. 21. 

Please list the sessions you'd like to attend and we will try to accommodate your request (either by having you available to attend or monitor the session). And while we will try and accommodate everyone’s indicated preferences, we cannot guarantee we will be able to assign you to the session you have indicated. Priority will be given to :

• those who give more than 16 hours
• those who take on early hours (6:30 am - 9:00 am)

If there is one or more session(s) you absolutely do not want to miss, simply ensure that you provide us with 16 hours or more of availability in other timeslots than this specific session.

Volunteers cannot be remunerated, and the conference cannot cover the cost of transportation, parking or meals.  Beverages will be provided.
