The Schedule at a Glance and Abstracts indicate the skill level for each session using the labels Basic (B), Intermediate (I) and Advanced (A).

Speaker Q&A

Here's your chance for in-depth Q&A: Selected speakers will stay after their talk to answer questions in roundtable format. These presentations will be indicated in the final program.

Roundtable Discussion Groups

Sponsored by the Academy of Correctional Health Professionals, the discussions will take place throughout the meeting during concurrent sessions. This provides more room and makes it easier to hear.
Roundtables are small, informal gatherings for information sharing and idea exchange focused on a specific interest, job function or workplace challenge. All are invited to participate. See the final program for topics and times.
