TOP 3 REASONS TO ATTEND

Don't take our word for it, listen to our attendees! These are the top 3 reasons that our attendees keep coming back:

  1. Tutorials: All tutorials are included in full conference registrations, including student and life-member registrations. The Tutorials offer an opportunity to earn up to 6 PDHs to satisfy continuing professional education requirements for licensed/registered professionals.
  2. Networking: I2MTC has networking at the forefront of program planning. We ensure that there is not only ample time during the conference to catch up with friends, and introduce yourself to new contacts, but also dedicated time for socializing, including the Welcome Party and Gala Dinner.
  3. Program: We have planned an interactive, thorough technical program. With expert panels, tutorials, plenary speakers, poster sessions, and oral sessions, there is a format that fits everyone.
