Some sessions include workshops and networking events, but only for in-person attendees. For virtual attendees (such as those at UBC), only the Lecture portions of the sessions are available on Zoom and therefore workshops have not been referenced above. The end time of sessions include all aspects of a given session and therefore may be shorter for virtual attendees.
