The line-up of education sessions at BCMC 2022 offers something for everyone and promises to deliver significant value to every attendee.  From in-depth presentations to dynamic panel discussions, industry veterans and market experts will share their wealth of experience and knowledge on a broad range of timely topics.  To help ensure you have greater access to these sessions, BCMC has altered the format this year.  The sessions have been moved to the afternoons on Wednesday and Thursday, and only two sessions will be held at the same time.  To help you plan for which sessions you want to attend, here is the full schedule of sessions.
