Enjoy a lunch buffet while we begin with the Vendor Spark session. It’s an opportunity for you to hear highlights from each exhibitor at the conference. What sets one company apart from another? Why should you stop by their booth? What cool giveaways do they have? You won’t hear long-winded sales pitches during this session. Short but sweet is the name of the game!

We are then pleased to present a stellar line-up of luncheon presentations. Individual presentations (15-20 minutes in duration) will be made a bit more informally at a lunch table instead of at a podium. The format offers the opportunity for in-depth discussion, Q&A about the topic being presented. There are still opportunities to present in this session. Share your project successes, tips and trips, in this comfortable venue. Email Pat Francis with your presentation idea!
