The complete list of sessions for the SDAE sessions at the 2008 SEA meetings can be found here (PDF). We have not yet been assigned days and times, and we will let you know when that takes place. We had more submissions than slots for sessions this year, which is a terrific development. Thanks to all who made submissions. Those who have been accepted should watch for email from the Society about registration for the SEAs as that becomes available.
