March 8 will feature a full day of shorter sessions that will run from 7:00 – 4:30 pm and an Expo sponsored by ASA Chicago.

Each year, participants have been very complimentary about our efforts to recruit superior speakers with timely, accurate and useful information..... speakers with the ability to deliver in an effective and interesting style. That’s why we are inviting you to submit an abstract.   If you are interested in submitting a proposal, please submit an abstract no later than October 16, 2015.  We need to get our registration materials out in a timely manner….so please pay close attention to the deadline date.
