RDH Under One Roof will accept abstracts for approximately 10 weeks between May 23, 2022 and August 26, 2022.  The call for abstracts is designed to fill the general session presentations. General sessions are 2-hour or 1-hour, large group (400-600+ attendee) lecture sessions and are included in the full conference registration for the attendees.

The abstracts that grade out at the top are selected and scheduled as general sessions.
