Information
In this quick series of panel sessions, we will reflect on 40 Years of ISC, remembering the influence the conference has had, while looking forward to how it continues to be relevant, this year and beyond.
Drawing from past ISC committee members and contributors, the panel will focus on three categories:
- Scientific Innovation and Advancement
- Community and Collaboration
- Building the Next Generation
In each category, Addison Snell will introduce past and present stakeholders who remember how ISC has been important in prior years, with an eye toward how and why ISC remains essential to the future.
