Student Lunch with the Experts
Wednesday, March 12
1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.
Hall B2-1
Convention Center
Students can sign up on-site to enjoy complimentary box-lunch while participating in an informal discussion with an expert on a topic of interest to them. Topics will be identified in January and listed on this web page. Sign-up will take place beginning on Monday, March 10 at 1:00 p.m. at the APS registration desk, and will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Attendance is limited to eight students per topic.
