ACC.13 Planning
The ACC has created several tools to allow attendees to customize their conference experience. The ACC.13 Meeting Planner app allows you to “easily access event sessions, speakers, exhibitors, and organizer messages.” The Online Program Planner allows you to “access the key planning features of the app on your computer.” The ACC.13 Program At-a-Glance is a “quick, pocket-sized, reference guide that includes session titles, times and location” (however, this PDF does not include presentation level or faculty information).
You can also browse the session schedule in PDF format, organized by day or learning pathway. Each PDF includes full session, presentation and speaker information.
