Targeted Affinity Groups (TAG)

---

Targeted Affinity Groups (TAG) have been created to gather attendees with similar interests to focus on specific topics. Each TAG will begin with an invited plenary presentation and will be followed by two sets of concurrent sessions and open discussion. TAG sessions will be located in adjoining rooms to facilitate networking with other professionals who share common interests.
