Call for Papers

Abstracts Due: September 20, 2019

Final Paper Due: January 24, 2020

RadTech International North America is pleased to invite you to submit an abstract for the 2020 RadTech UV&EB Technology & Conference, scheduled for March 9-11, 2020 at the Disney Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando, Florida USA. This is the foremost event for the UV+EB industry. As our industry has evolved, so has UV+EB technology grown to meet the new challenges. RADTECH’s conference program will feature key areas of interest to the industry.

Those interested in presenting a technical conference paper no longer than 25 minutes in length with 5 minutes for Q&A at the 2020 RadTech UV&EB Technology & Conference should fill out the online Abstract Submission Form prior to SEPTEMBER 20, 2019. Your description should be sufficiently comprehensive to allow assessment of the scope and content of your paper by the Conference Committee. It is expected that a limited number of papers will be selected for TECHNICAL CONFERENCE! Due to the limited space we have available, please submit your paper by the deadline to ensure consideration for the conference.

Speakers will receive an instruction manual providing details to help prepare written and oral presentation as well as audiovisual aids. Speakers will be asked to use terminology consistent with the RADTECH Glossary when preparing papers. The Glossary is available online at: https://www.radtech.org/intro-to-uv-eb/uv-glossary. ALL SPEAKERS are required to register and may register at 50% off the member or non-member registration category.

The deadline for submitting your final paper for publication is JANUARY 24, 2020.
