Building the conference schedule is a long process!
Once finalized, we will post the schedule details here in addition to providing them with conference materials. In the meantime, you can review the tables below for a representative example of our typical conference schedule.
Registration typically opens on Friday morning, followed by lunch on your own. Sessions and presentations begin in the afternoon and continue for the rest of the day. A full day of events and sessions follows on Saturday.
All times listed are U.S. Eastern Time (EST, GMT-5). All sessions take place in either the Hesburgh Center for International Studies (HC) or Jenkins Nanovic Halls (JN) on the University of Notre Dame main campus, unless otherwise indicated.
