Detailed agenda will follow. We have tried to put together panels that have representation from North, South, East, West and varying experience among panelists. This will make the discussion only richer with each panelist bringing in their diverse viewpoints. We will reach out to many of you for your participation as panelists or moderators as well.
It has been a while since we have all met as a group. Do block your calendars for these dates. We are certain this Virtual HPB Arena will serve as a melting pot of scientific viewpoints for us to debate and deliberate upon.
We look forward to your wholehearted participation to make this program a resounding success
