Your session should not be a product pitch, nor promotional for your company, or services. We are looking for narrow topics, with a deeper focus on specific best practices and new breakthroughs. We are looking for specific and actionable items that you will share with your audience. Strategic keynote topics (see below) are also welcome.<\/p>\n<p>Presenting at VECS gives you the opportunity to share your latest technical ideas and achievements with influential specialists among the delegates and to discuss your work with colleagues in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Speakers should submit their applications by<strong> October 10, 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Selections will be made ongoing.
