2023 SPEAKERS
We'll be taking proposals for both oral and poster presentations in the near future. Depending on your expertise, you may also be assigned to a roundtable with people who work in a similar area but with varied backgrounds. Stay tuned for when we begin to solicit proposals by joining our mailing list here.
In the meantime, check out our speakers from the 2022 VCPC below!
