International Conference on Thinking 2012
ICT2012 Symposia
Below is the current list of symposia at the conference. Of course, there is bound to be some attrition between now and ICT2012 which will mean that not all named contributors will be able to make it on the day. However, this contributor list gives a good idea of how the symposia are shaping up. This page will be regularly updated as more details become available, i.e., title and attendance.
