*Short Says by Forum Members
The schedule has been designed to allow plenty of time for question periods, interaction, and discussion. During the discussion periods, we will ask audience members for more formal "Short Says."
A "Short Say" presentation is a short (3-minute) prepared talk on any topic you believe may interest an audience of UE executives. This is a good chance to bring up your most pressing concerns. No slides: just talk to us.
Moderator Norman will be very fierce at enforcing the time limit — but you can say a lot in 3 minutes if you prepare. Have a passion? A pet peeve? Here's your platform.
