The documents below differ from the printed program and the app provided during the Conference in that presenters who were absent from the Conference have been removed. To the best of our ability, these documents represent an accurate accounting of the presenters.
The 2021 WSSA Conference was held entirely online, so no printable program exists. The 2022 WSSA Conference was a hybrid conference, but its program was also entirely online, so, again, there is not accurately updated printable program available.
