Please read to the bottom of this email, as there will be important information regarding:

Thank you for your patience as we have been trying to navigate through these unprecedented times.

SAVE THE DATE: October 19-21, 2020 
The planning committee will be contacting all speakers for the current program to confirm availability/interest in participating in the October dates. We hope the content for the October dates will be similar, but realize that there may be some changes. As such, the registration will re-open for the new dates in the coming weeks. Watch your inbox and social media for that announcement.
