Plans are underway for our 2023 TxATE Summer Conference, and this year we are excited to meet in-person once again! The conference will be June 6, 2023 at the University of the Incarnate Word. Registration information can be found on the Conference Webpage.

We are now accepting proposals for the 2023 conference and would like to encourage you to submit a proposal for a round-table presentation. Proposals must be submitted via this Google link by May 5, 2023 .

Presentations should address issues related to one of the following topics:
