The ICCST Program comprises an exciting three days of technical sessions - organized by topic , presented by experts in the field and moderated by our ICCST Committee members. It is also our tradition each year to have a banquet, which has become a very splendid way to renew old acquaintances and make new friends.

Interested authors and presenters submit abstracts to the conference organizing committee, which are then
reviewed by the Executive Committee.  If the paper is selected, authors submit the full paper in writing,
and are invited to deliver a presentation at the conference.  The papers are then printed in the Proceedings for the conference, which is distributed to all attendees and available for purchase by others.

Spouses are not left out.  Each conference includes a number of planned activities for the spouses of attendees.
