Conference topics

The Conference program topics cover four key areas within the professions. Each topic has examples of subtopics to define presentation proposals within these broad topic areas. Prospective presenters should select the topic area for the general subject and then choose the more specific subtopic to better describe the presentation and learning objectives for the proposed seminar. Presentations are usually 60 minutes, with many presenters allowing questions in the last few minutes.

You may submit a seminar proposal that doesn't fall within these categories if you believe it will be relevant to the 2024 Conference attendees.
