Chair of the ADEA Board of Directors symposia. Additionally, you will have ample opportunity to network and socialize with peers and colleagues, including at events such as the Welcome Reception today from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. in the Coquina Lawn. There’s so much to do and see, and we encourage
you to use the ADEA Live

program planner to navigate the meeting.
The
Exhibit Hall is open on Sunday and Monday, March 18–19. Visit more than 65 exhibitors and explore the ADEA TechExpo and poster presentations by faculty and students. We have limited programming during Exhibit Hall hours so you can take advantage of enhanced offerings in the Exhibit Hall and the scheduled networking
