Featured Speakers
For the 2019 GATE Seminar, rather than having one Keynote speaker, we will offer featured speakers at different session times throughout the day. We will have speakers focusing on both the low and high incidence populations. Featured Speakers include: Christopher Bugaj, Emily Rubin, & Vicki Clarke
