The 2020 conference is off to a fantastic start! We are very excited to announce that we received more than 560 individual paper session proposals along with more than 85 coordinated sessions. To go along with those exciting numbers, we also received more than 45 proposals for training sessions and more than 65 sessions for the Graduate Student Issues Committee. All of these participants navigated a brand new submission system that was introduced this year and will help us move forward with program planning earlier than in year’s past. Just as impressive, more than 330 people have volunteered to serve as reviewers and are currently hard at work with their reviews. That does not even count those people who volunteered to serve as Discussants and Moderators during the conference. Thanks to everyone who submitted proposals for the 2020 conference and a very special thank you to everyone who volunteered their time to aid in all aspects of the conference. Stay tuned for further in this newsletter and on the NCME website.
