Clinic Topics and Presenters

We are developing a full schedule for Prototype, Modeling, and Hands-On Special Interest Clinics. Many clinics have never been seen at MCR Conventions, and scheduling is still being developed. A partial list of topics and their presenters follows, presented alphabetically by the topic name. Clinics will be included as more information becomes available, so check back often.
The first clinics will begin at 1 pm on Thursday, and we will have three clinic rooms with several of the clinics be presented more than once so you won't have to pick between two of your favorites in the same slot.
