She listed the program in alphabetical order by first author’s last name, so it is unclear which day each talk took place. There is no mention as to the exact dates of this conference on that page. Furthermore, it is unclear if this program represents the official program and excludes any changes to the itinerary or if it represents those papers that were read at the conference. Any attendees who have insight into this program are invited to reach out to clarify the program above.
