The conference is developed through abstracts submitted through a Call for Presentations.

The Committee has specified three program tracks for the conference, and they are each described below.

A review committee of NENA and URISA members will organize an educational program based on the abstracts submitted through the Call for Presentations. Abstract submissions will be accepted until April 4, 2011.
