The program will begin with introductions and a Welcome Presentation by Intel, before breaking into smaller breakout sessions.
The breakout sessions will be divided into two, 30-minute rounds to provide you with the opportunity to explore different areas. In these sessions you will have a chance to hear from our distinguished panelists, who will introduce themselves and their practice areas, and then take your questions.
