Compiling this much information is a difficult process. To that end, it is important to standardize correspondence to ensure that all handouts are included and attendees receive maximum benefit from the Web site portal. Please review and adhere to the following guidelines when submitting and formatting your paper or presentation. Speaker Handouts must be limited to a maximum of 15 pages.
**Speaker handouts will NOT be distributed onsite.**
