Symposia

General Information - 2008 Symposium

"It's essential to get leading thinkers together and get them thinking together. It's so easy to stereotype particular views. But when you hear the individuals talk and understand the passion that they come from, you begin to understand the texture of their views and can see how the consensus is going to develop."

- Elizabeth Olmsted Teisberg, University of Virginia
