Professional development is a core component of the Conference and includes in-depth seminars, workshops, and discussions that offer professional and peer insight. We seek to offer sessions that appeal to all attendees and welcome all ideas—whether it’s a fully developed session, the name of someone that has inspired you, a skill that needs to be refreshed, or simply an issue of interest.

Feel free to complete as little or as much of the information requested below.
