The conference committee has developed an energizing conference program with an outstanding roster of keynote and plenary speakers; abstract-based research presentations; and concurrent abstract-based “lightning” presentation sessions. Our mission is to make the conference a place for attendees and presenters to engage in rich conversations and exchange ideas. The SSWR conference committee is planning to take advantage of innovations in virtual programming. The virtual meeting will offer more opportunities than ever to interact with speakers and participate in scientific sessions.
