We would love to have YOU and others submit presentation abstracts using the submission form below as soon as possible to guarantee high quality content for our next Fall Technology Meeting. The team typically starts working on fall tech meeting agenda in May. The team tries to accommodate everyone; however, we cannot guarantee a day/time or availability. When space is limited, it is typically first come, first served; however, the team may prioritize topics based on submissions for a balanced conference.
