The main topic of HHC 2013 of course was the exciting new “HP Prime Graphing Calculator”. But there were also presentations about many other topics dear to the hearts of HP programmable calculator enthusiasts.

The following schedule is almost the same as the "final" schedule, which was handed out with the registration materials. However, as always, things got changed at the last minute. What you see below was updated in real time to reflect what actually occurred.
