The 2020 CUFA online conference is coming up in three short weeks! I wanted to send out the deluxe CUFA 2020 program. It offers the timing of events in both Eastern and Pacific time zones, links to presentations in flipped sessions, as well as designations for the modalities of the sessions. This document will be updated as we move towards the conference. It can be found here:
