The topics below are of particular interest for the 2020 technical sessions. Please indicate which of the categories your presentation represents, or write in your topic category in "Other".

Preference for presentations is given to WQA members and to registered exhibitors and sponsors.

Proposals submitted after the July 31st deadline will only be considered for the convention education if space is still available, however, additional paid opportunities, such as the Business Spotlight, may be available.

Convention education sessions are intended as learning opportunities rather than a vehicle for product-specific commercial messages and as such, cannot contain references to specific products or models or overtly promote a speaker's products or services. Presentations intended for convention that are product- or service-specific should be submitted for the Business Spotlight. Please contact education@wqa.org for more information.
