  4. Convention 2012 will present a new format for Thursday morning.  Three featured speakers will be presenting two repeat sessions in Exhibition Hall C, Macleod Hall, and in the Imperial Rooms at the Hyatt .  Delegates will choose to see two of the three speakers.  This requires the delegates to move to another room instead of the speakers moving rooms as in the past.
