Attendee Survival Guide

To help you get the most out of your time at Symposium, take a look at the Attendee Survival Guide. 

This year, the theme for the event is “Learn, Connect, Contribute”. We know that in your professional and personal lives your need to learn is never ending, the importance to connect with others is imperative, and your contributions to your communities and beyond is extensive. 

Throughout the Symposium, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to come to the Registration and Information desk, or talk to any CLN Staff or Board member.
