Notes:

As always, conference schedules are subject to change because of personal emergencies. If such happens, we will substitute teachers of similar quality and material.

Readings will be five (5) minutes each during the Open Mic for TPR Contributors and Conference Faculty to allow everyone time to read—this time will be extended if we have fewer readers, and can reasonably do so.
