ACES Town Halls
The ACES 2014 Conference is pleased to present a variety of Town Hall Discussions during the conference. Town Hall Meetings will be under the guidance and direction of the Town Hall Meeting Organizer, who will moderate the discussion. Town Halls may have designated topic leaders or other appointed speakers who may lead discussions, however, in this informal setting, attendees are encouraged to take an active role and participate in discussions led by the moderator.
Town Halls will be offered in the lunch and evening hours of the conference. Please make plans to attend and share your voice in these collaborative discussions.
Current town hall descriptions can be viewed by clicking on the session titles below. Post-conference Town Hall Reports are also linked below where available.
