Program & Schedule

[GALW1 – SCHEDULE PDF]

Due to the numerous time zones we are working with, we are providing a list of times for each session with reference points in the US, Europe, and Australia.

Schedule

 

We have also created a preset calendar containing all the events, which you can download and import to your personal Google/Apple/Outlook/etc calendars. Doing so will automatically adjust the events to your local time. We hope this will alleviate some of the confusion that comes with virtual conferences held across many time zones!
