Essential Pre-installed Software
Each participant will need to bring a laptop computer with wireless-internet capabilities. Software needed for the hands-on workshop tutorials will be made available on this page approximately two weeks before the conference begins. We strongly encourage you to install and test this software prior to arriving at the meeting.
