Are you, or do you know, an industry expert, vendor, thought leader or professional in Nuclear IT willing to share your knowledge and insight with NITSL ?

Speaking opportunities are available for NITSL's 2023 conference. Email your topic, with a brief description, to Cathy Przyjemski at cathy.przyjemski@nitsl.org by January 15, 2023. We are accepting papers for our General Session and Standing Committees.

Presentations that are reflective of our primary topics, Empowering the Nuclear Workforce Through Innovation or the Standing Committee Initiatives below, will be given priority consideration. The NITSL Executive Committee/Standing Committee will review all submissions.
