SIGS
SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP MEETINGS

Special Interest Group, or “SIG” sessions, are discussions which are organized to cater to more specialized attendee interests.  Sometimes they are organized ad hoc by attendees – you put your name on a sheet of paper and post it on the conference message board so that other attendees can join you to discuss something of interest.  You can still make these ad hoc arrangements, but this year we’re also organizing a number of SIGs in advance, so that you can better plan your conference agenda.  Here are the sessions which have already been organized:
