Speaker proposals for the conference are due this Thursday, 2/15. Go here for details, all you need is a basic outline of the topic etc to submit a proposal. We are accepting 5, 30, and 60 minute presentations. Got a Prep tip that you can share in 5 minutes or maybe a presentation on a topic you think the PACCIN community would appreciate and maybe benefit from? Our content comes from people like you, so consider giving us a proposal.
