The BSAG Speaks Presentation Showcase is a special event where you'll learn a lot from your peers in the Boston Admin Group! There will be a set of presenters who are each offered 8 mins to share something they are passionate about. The BSAG Speaks program consists of three workshops to help participating group members each prepare a presentation on a topic they are interested in and think the admin community will benefit from. As the date draws nearer, we'll update this event listing to include their speaker names, presentation titles, and abstracts. Come join this event to support your fellow group members on their public speaking journeys! Odds are good you'll learn a few things, too.

As they are finalized, we will continue to add to the following Title and Abstract list:
