Dialogue Sessions

Dialogue Sessions are new at APEC this year. These papers have been selected through a rigorous peer review process and they are represented by papers in the APEC Proceedings. These papers were selected for a dialogue presentation by the APEC Program Committee because while they are of the same high quality as the orally presented papers, they are generally narrower in scope or more specialized than papers in the oral presentation sessions. In the Dialogue Sessions you will have the opportunity to talk at length with the authors about their work, something that is not possible in the oral presentation sessions.
