2021 SLATE Conference
Northern Illinois University Campus/Conference Center
Naperville, IL
November 10 - 12, 2021

SCHEDULE & LOGISTICS
No matter how experienced you are, everyone can learn. Often being isolating, and without exposure to a variety of points of view, we can miss new ideas and trends that can impact future results. Conferences provide a great opportunity to network and collaborate with others while discovering innovative products and services necessary to uncover ideas and spark innovation. So prepare and plan so you can get the most out of the time you spend here.
KEYNOTE ANNOUNCEMENT
Additional information and announcement of the keynote speaker will be coming soon.
