The PCMI Fall 2015 Committee is looking for speakers to make technical presentations at the Fall Conference to be held in Toronto, Canada. The technical sessions will be held on October 13 and 14, 2015.
If you have an interesting program idea related to the photo chemical machining process, you are invited to submit an abstract proposal for consideration by the PCMI Fall Conference Committee. If selected as a conference speaker, you will gain visibility; contribute to the pcm industry and to the educational component of the conference.
The Conference Committee will evaluate proposed programs based on the relevance to the industry, the presentation focus, the topic and speaker qualifications. To be considered as a speaker your presentation must be educational in nature and not a sales presentation.
Deadline for submission is August 7, 2015.
