  • Affiliate members (and their guests) who are exhibiting & medallion sponsors are welcome to apply, but are not compensated. 
  • All presenters are expected to upload an electronic resource or link related to their presentation to be included in the Convention mobile app. Presenters were sent an email from “CADA/CASL” and the email address “noreply@rdmobile.com” with a direct link to log-in to the presenter portal of the CADA/CASL Events app for the convention.
