Any changes that you make will override the selections / order choices that your colleagues may have made in this column. Therefore, before making your final session selections inside the Team Selections tab - we recommend that you and your fellow track chairs schedule time together via WebEx, Google Hangout or another platform to discuss the final team selections. Once you have finalized your selections as a team, add them into the Team Selections tab. The Team Selections tab must be complete no later than Monday, February 29 at 11:59pm PST (March 1 at 7:59 UTC).</font><br><br><font size="4">Please do NOT set expectations with any speakers ranked in your category.
