Often conferences have a “theme” and they go for good papers, but the papers let alone sessions don’t tie together or build upon each other. I thought the Organizers did an incredibly good job of finding a truly compelling topic and then assembling a set of papers that not only matched the topic but were also connected to each other.

The papers in each session complimented each other, and the sessions built upon each other. You saw this as presenters and discussants referred to other sessions. I truly enjoyed the conference.
