56th Annual Conference ― The Miami Preliminary Program is Out!

Mirna Soares (Member of the Leadership Council)

Last month we posted a list of speakers and sessions in the Portuguese category, including our Distinguished Speaker Israel Souza, Jr.

Now, many of you have probably received the supplement to The ATA Chronicle and eagerly gone through the 180 (!) sessions this year, looking for familiar names and favorite subjects or maybe even topics you have never heard before.

Here’s the lineup of speakers we found in other categories in the preliminary program that might interest PLD members. Please let us know by email if you think your name also belongs on this list.

Enjoy!

p.s. Don’t forget that early bird registration ends September 25th!
