VCF West — Speakers

VCF West Home Page

Please note: This year’s show is on Friday and Saturday. There will be no Sunday event. Also, we have added so many new speakers that we have had to expand into a second room for the presentations.

  • Hahn Auditorium – Located upstairs
  • Orientation Theater – Located downstairs, near the gift shop across from the cafe

A detailed list of speakers, their talks, including the days, times and locations, can be seen here, or you can click on the title of the talk below to jump straight to it’s details.
