OGS Conference 2013 Program Brochure – revised
PLEASE NOTE: Session H-2 has been changed, and there is a new workshop A-5. See the Conference News for information about these changes. Also, some of the printed brochures had an incorrect description for session C-6; the brochure above has the correct description. Session F-7 has been moved to Sunday, J-7
As of April 16, the following workshops are FULL: A-1, A-3, A-4, A-4, B-3 and B-4. We are limiting the size of workshops to that the participants will be able to have better interaction with the instructors.
