2024 Bridge Conference: Grid

Welcome to the 2024 Bridge Conference!

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

How to Use Sched: Conference sessions are first-come, first-served. The majority of our sessions will range from 30-80 people. This online schedule is to help you think in advance about which sessions you are most interested in.

You may have used Sched via a personal log-in for past Conferences. Since this is an in-person Conference and sessions are first-come, first-served, there is no log-in for attendees.
