We need to get your input on agenda items for the meeting. Please use the space provided for in Cvent to list your ideas and suggestions or e-mail Don Boteler (boteler@ici.org) or Basil Fox (bfox@frk.com). Our experience indicates that if topics are circulated in advance, the value of the discussion is considerably enhanced.
