Call for Panels

*Panel discussions are discussions on current topics of interest among 
experts which then stimulate discussion with the audience. Individuals 
interested in organizing and chairing a panel on a topic that intrigues 
them may propose a Panel session. Topics that raise forward-looking or 
contentious issues and that will promote debate among panel members as 
well as audience involvement are strongly encouraged.

All suggestions will be assessed for topicality and ability to generate
