    Please suggest (if applicable) a potential session moderator or facilitator who could bring a depth of experience and leadership to the panel. CHRA will take this under advisement.

    Should you require other than the standard, such as a flipchart and markers, please indicate so below. Requests will be subject to availability and cost.
  • Presenters will be responsible for the copying and distribution of any handouts they may wish to provide. We encourage you to allow CHRA to post your presentation following Congress to reduce the need for any additional handouts.
