The opening session of the conference was at 9:00 AM on Friday, October 19th. A reception in the famous Windows over Washington lounge with hors d'ourvres began at 7:30 PM on Thursday. The roundtable discussions on Friday, Saturday, and half day on Monday were scheduled to allow time to socialize and get to know other participants.
