Do you have a great idea for a Learning Experience at Fall Meeting? Are you using SRI tools and practices in exciting ways that you’d like to share with others? Then we invite you to offer up a Learning Experience at the November 2-4, 2017 Fall Meeting in Atlanta.
Each year, we utilize a portion of our conference for Learning Experiences.

We are accepting proposals for Fall Meeting Learning Experiences now until July 1st. If you are interested in proposing an experience, please utilize the Learning Experience proposal form. Questions?
