The Tools Café

The symposium will feature a Tools Café in the poster and networking hall — an interactive and vibrant space designed to promote attendee engagement.

Open both evenings during our networking receptions, attendees will have an opportunity to visit tabletop displays and speak with professionals about software, management tools, and funding opportunities available for planning and decision-making. This is an excellent opportunity for attendees to network and exchange ideas while viewing posters and engaging with colleagues facing the same challenges.
