Call for Speakers for the 2010 AEC
NSGC 2010 Annual Education Conference
October 14-17, 2010
Hyatt Regency Dallas at Reunion
Dallas, Texas
NSGC is actively inviting members to submit presentation submissions for Pre-conference Symposia, Plenary Sessions and Educational Breakout Sessions!
Returning in 2010 - Pre-conference Symposia!
Pre-conference symposia will take place again on Thursday, October 14, the day before the main conference begins. We will offer 4-6 concurrent pre-conference symposia, each lasting 4-6 hours. The sessions will focus on high level, detailed information for a particular specialty practice area or professional development topic. We believe that these smaller, in depth, sessions will allow for more discussion and a more interactive experience. So…put on your creative thinking caps and send in your ideas!!
We are looking for informative and stimulating presentations by genetic counselors, physicians, researchers or other industry leaders that will help advance our knowledge in the profession of genetic counseling. See “Submission Guidelines” below.
Submit your proposal for consideration for the NSGC 29th Annual Education Conference by completing the online submission form today. Instructions on how to submit your proposal can be found by following the link below:
