WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INVITED SPEAKERS AND PLENARY SPEAKERS?
Invited speakers are organized by the different CAP Divisions to offer participants an opportunity to hear from experts from various subdisciplines. Invited speakers will give their presentations as part of a division’s technical session being held in parallel with other division sessions.
Plenary speakers are chosen by the Congress Program Committee. Their presentations are given during a timeframe dedicated to their talks.
