We may also chose to host panel discussions at the annual conference. These are valuable opportunities to discuss important matters in the field by featuring Q&A with a small group of experts in a conversation around a specific topic.

Please note:

• MASHSMD is not a pay-to-speak event, nor do we cover speaker fees/travel expenses.
