have the opportunity to present their session as a lightning talk (10 minutes); however, if a full breakout session speaker cannot present, alternates will be selected based on the order in the Team List within the Track Chair tool. This is in an effort to
ensure that Alternates are onsite in the event they are needed, as well as giving Lightning Talk presenters a better chance at giving a 40-minute presentation.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
