Along with valuable education, the event will afford attendees with plenty of opportunities for networking. One session, called the “Brain Exchange” will give attendees the option to participate in the roundtable discussion of their choice and exchange ideas with peers.
The event will also include an evening dinner party at Austin Ranch, which is adjacent to the Hilton. During the evening event, winners of the 2013 DSA Industry Excellence Awards will be announced.
The DSA Advisory Board will hold its biannual meeting on the morning of May 9 before the Symposium begins.
