Symposium Schedule

All events are free and open to the public. 

However, registration is required, and space is limited. Please register here to attend events in person or online. Registration for online access closes on Tuesday, March 21st.

For disability accessibility, our event will be available by Zoom as well as in person with masking required indoors. Masking is an important form of care that we provide for our community members who are immunocompromised, disabled, elderly, and caregivers. It enables people to participate in person who would otherwise not be able to without great health risks to themselves and others. Thank you for collectively taking care of our event organizers, staff, participants, and audience members.
