***Michael Rea’s paper has been moved from Thursday at 9:20 AM to Friday at 10:50 AM due to a scheduling conflict.

***Tim Mosteller is unable to attend this year’s event, and so his paper session will be cancelled (Thursday morning, 9:20 AM, Ile De France II/3rd Floor).

***Todd Bates is unable to attend this year’s event, and so his paper session will be cancelled (Wednesday morning, 11 AM, Ile De France II/3rd Floor).

***Jeremy Evans will substitute for Khaldoun Sweis’ moderating the Thursday AM session featuring William Lane Craig and Gary Habermas.

***Thomas Provenzola will be speaking at the Friday AM session moderated by Craig Mitchell. The correct title of his paper is “Saving Pre-Modernity: Relational Causality & Truth”
