Introduction

This page is designed to allow registered Confab 2009 attendees, staff, speakers, and hosts to view, download, and print copies of presentations and any accompanying handouts that have been made available by Confab speakers. In some cases, speakers will not be using Powerpoint to present. Therefore, no presentation copies and only outline copies will be posted.

In the past, Confab has made this information available on compact disks (CDs). Last year, the Confab Committee decided to use the web site for this purpose.
