Open to Media

All scientific programs are open to the press, as well as abstract concurrent sessions/poster presentations, and the exhibit hall. A  media badge permits entrance into any session, including "paid" ones such as the Thursday Program and Friday Literature Review. These two programs are also additional "paid" sessions for Livestream. As there is no "badge" to gain access to the Livestream program, media will automatically be allowed to attend these two sessions if you are registered for Livestream.
