Final abstract selections are wrapping up this week! The North America BILT Committee meets in balmy Toronto, Canada to complete lecture/lab selections, create the program and walk the conference hotel. I promise it’s not all fun and games. It’ll be 12 hours days in a 20’x20′ room and we’re not allowed out until we’ve finished (minus meals and bathroom breaks).
The 2017 conference will be the 7th North American Conference:
- 2011 – Huntington Beach
- 2012 – Atlanta
- 2013 – Vancouver
- 2014 – Chicago (kinda)
- 2015 – Washington, DC
- 2016 – Scottsdale
- 2017 – Toronto
So what about 2018? Fearless leaders Wes Benn and Bob Bell are doing site inspections this week ahead of the committee meeting. They’ll have a pretty good idea of the final candidate locations but the rest of the North American Committee won’t know until a few weeks before the conference in Toronto.
Have you been anxiously awaiting to know if your abstract has been selected? Hold on just a bit…
