Event Presentations

9 talks are presented each year by industry experts and service providers.  The topics are varied and are meant to expose the audience to an area of the industry that they may not have previously had an opportunity to explore.  The speakers provide information and answer as many questions as they can in a one hour time frame.  While the allotted time does not permit an in-depth learning opportunity, the session does provide some food for thought and contacts to people who can provide more information.  This session provides a networking opportunity for the participants.
