We're Seeking Additional New Offerings
PD&T is currently seeking to expand its variety of offerings and invites experts to submit proposals for new noncredit seminars, workshops, short courses, institutes, or conferences.

About the Proposal Process
Once you have submitted your proposal (over the the web, by fax, or by mail), a program developer with PD&T will be in contact with you to discuss your proposal.
