FOOTNOTE: Sunday and Tuesday schedules are the same. This is by design to enable each attendee the opportunity to attend all sessions offered during the symposium if they so desire. Since there are two long sessions (customization in the morning & machine repair in the afternoon) if an attendee chooses either of these sessions they will naturally miss the shorter seminars scheduled during the same time period. To attend all sessions here are two examples of how you might structure your individual schedule.

A. Sunday---Choose the customiztion class in the morning and all of the shorter afternoon sessions after lunch. On Tuesday, schedule all of the shorter sessions in the morning that you missed on Sunday morning and the longer machine repair & maintenance seminar in the afternoon.

OR

B. Sunday---Choose the two long sessions-customization in the morning and machine repair & maintenance in the afternoon. On Tuesday choose all of the shorter seminars in both the morning and the afternoon.
