Hi All Friendly reminder,
The call is next week Wednesday the 6th of September @ 9AM. Please kindly submit your drafts by EOD Monday September 4th. I need to collate it all and set time aside for each speaker. If you miss EOD Monday deadline - with all fairness to everyone, I can't promise you will have an opportunity to talk.
