Quick-fire Presentations Announced for ASA Annual Meeting

The program co-chairs for the ASA Annual Meeting are pleased to announce eight Quick-Fire Presentations for the Annual Meeting. The session will be held on Saturday, November 18 from 2:45-5:00 pm in the Washington III Room. The session is intended to provide a fun and fast-paced opportunity for speakers to give an extended "elevator pitch" of a particularly wild or ambitious thesis that has a little something going for it after all. Quick-Fire Presentations were first introduced at the 80th Annual Meeting in 2022.
