Workshop Schedule

The schedule for our Fall 2019 workshop is found below. While we aim to stay on time according to plan, sometimes discussions can expand beyond the time we estimated for them. As a result, some mild shuffling of events may take place on the day of the event. We will keep this page up-to-date if any changes do occur.
