VRA33 Conference program (PDF) available
Dear colleagues,
I’m pleased to announce the conference program PDF is now available from the conference website’s Program page.
This year it’s more interactive than previous years, clicking on a sponsor's logo should take you to their website, clicking on a table of contents item takes you to that page, and some URLs in the program are live hyperlinks. Of course these won’t work if you print it out, but if you keep a copy on your computer, tablet or smartphone they should work just fine (depending on which pdf viewing application you use). The PDF is approximately 13MB, small enough to be portable but large enough to print nicely and look good on just about any screen.
You can find the download link on this page: http://www.vraweb.org/conferences/vra33/program/
See you in Denver!
