Past Presentations
Presentations from the 2022 UMCVB Fall Conference
Please see below for a list of sessions from this year’s conference in Champaign. Following each session will be a link to slides if it was provided. Please note: we are still getting access to presentations and they will be added as they become available. If “No Slides” is listed that means it was a discussion session and did not have slides during that session so there will be none added.
