Our primary objective is to ensure we have the most qualified speakers to cover topics at our conferences. Our members are among the best-informed in their areas of expertise, so we do frequently use them on panels and for presentations. If you are interested in speaking at a conference or appearing on a panel, please contact the head of the particular committee or our conference department about upcoming events.
