Want some input from colleagues on your plans for a product, service, research project, anything else? 

Speed Updating is scheduled for Wednesday, October 7 from 5-6pm.

The Speed Updating session at the 3 By the Sea Meeting is your chance to share what you are doing, get feedback, and make connections that could lead to collaboration.  Each speaker will have five minutes to share and get feedback - so we'll have 10 slots available.

Speed Updating presenters will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis and announced to attendees before the meeting so please let me know if you would like to participate.  I need the name of the presenter and a one-sentence title or topic for the promo materials.

We weren't planning to have display technology since this is meant to be quick, but if you hope to show a technology project that would benefit from display, please let me know that as well.  Questions welcome.
