Times are US Central. Details subject to change.

On-site sessions are taking place in Light Hall, with the exception of the Wednesday evening social and poster session in Langford Auditorium (Vanderbilt University campus map and parking information).

Links for virtual access were emailed to registered participants before the conference; email biostatistics[at]vumc[dot]org or cierra[dot]streeter[at]vumc[dot]org if assistance is needed.

For meals, there's an array of options on campus, and the Vanderbilt Postdoctoral Association offers a resource list. (We advise checking on current hours/locations before traveling to any destination.) The "Lunch" links below will open pages with additional recommendations.
