* as of January 28, 2009 and is subject to change
The conference has been designed with sessions which link to form five main ‘tracks’. Participants interested in these tracks will find that the sessions have been scheduled so that they will be able to attend all of the sessions in their track without any conflict with other sessions in the same track. A sixth area of interest (Pharmacovigilance) is also supported; participants interested in this area should also examine the workshops offered on May 25 and the special topic meeting which is tentatively scheduled for May 28/29. The remaining sessions are ‘untracked’ and will enable participants to attend sessions of more general or complementary interest.
