2025 Talk Schedule
The talk schedule below satisfied as many preferences as possible, while maintaining the tradition of devoting the first and last days to returning Duckees.
The schedule is tentative because I also have to coordinate with cooking, clean-up and dinner out assignments. Once those are posted, however, speakers are free to swap spots by mutual consent, as long as they are aware of potential conflicts with other assignments, and as long as they inform me in advance.
Because almost everyone wants to give a talk this year, all talks will be 30-minutes. There are 2.5 hours of talks scheduled each day, including my opening and closing remarks.
Those who failed to complete the talks survey are listed as "TBA" as are some folks who have not yet decided what they will be presenting. Please notify me of your actual talk title as soon as possible.
