We are excited to offer three different formats for conference presentations this year: paper, poster, and interactive roundtable. Paper and poster presentations will follow a format similar to those at the ASTE conference. Interactive roundtable presentations allow for 10 minutes of presenting, including prompts/questions for participant discussion and engagement around something they need help with, and 10 minutes of table discussion. ****Conference proposals will be due July 1, 2021 and can be submitted here: https://forms.gle/mB2oKGBwhKCmCTri9
