Are you interested in presenting at the next AARO Conference? The Program Committee maintains a distribution list who receive our "Call for Presentations" (CFP) on topics currently of interest to our stakeholders. CFPs are sent out 10-12 weeks prior to each conference. If you do not receive these CFPs but would like to be a presenter or have a topic of interest you'd like the committee to consider, please reach out to the Managing Director.
