Conference Schedule
NOTICE: APIII 2009 PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT … We were recently informed that Pittsburgh will begin hosting the G20 Summit on the last day of APIII (Thursday, September 24). With the expectation that the city may become very congested and busy, we have decided to merge Thursday’s ½ day program with programs on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (Sept 20 — 23). This will allow our attendees the opportunity to leave after the program adjourns on Wednesday, September 23 (4:30 pm) or early Thursday, September 24, avoiding delays in getting to the airport.
