NOTE, I was unable to attend in person due to life-threatening health issues. The essay paper for this event was submitted for peer review and rejected as the draft was, and I didn't have time at the time to make the needed changes to the paper. The non-academic track (not peer reviewed) related slideshow and recorded audio/video were accepted for presentation at the event (albeit a poorly done video that was painfully accelerated to squeeze into the allotted time).
