Paperless Schedule

As part of the Institute’s commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability, all on-campus participants are encouraged to subscribe to the Institute’s Google Calendar for use during the conference. This calendar contains the complete Institute schedule as well as notes about each event such as lists of simultaneous offerings during workshop sessions. To access the schedule, copy and paste the following address into your calendar’s subscription settings:

https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/c_6h4o8iuvndkon9k4o8gl3fhdbc%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics

For iCal (Apple) Users

Unfortunately, iCal renders the descriptions for each event with HTML formatting codes (e.g. <b>, <br>, <i>), making it somewhat difficult to read and navigate. Accordingly, we recommend downloading and installing the Google Calendar app.

Using the Google Calendar App

Google Calendar requires that calendars be added in a browser. You will not be able to subscribe directly from the app.
