With the new year comes new challenges, as well as new opportunities. Inform your peers on assessment and personnel related issues that matter to you, by presenting your work at the upcoming IPAC 2015. This year’s conference will be held at the Buckhead Marriott in Atlanta, Georgia, and is aptly themed as “Hot Topics & Cool Solutions!”

A number of Keynote speakers have been secured and will be presenting their unique perspectives based on their experience in the academic, public, and private sectors.

The conference runs from July 19th – 22nd, and will also include a number of pre-conference workshops.

To learn more about how you can present your work, view the request for proposals. To learn more about the conference in general, including how you can attend as a normal visitor, view the official conference website at http://www.ipacweb.org/2015, and finally if you are student who would like to present your work, please see the Student Poster Guide.

Hope to see you in #IPAClanta !
