Talk topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Scaling with low or no physical presence - Telemedicine implementation, especially regulatory compliance - Remote education, especially around infrastructure - How changes in spending affected your ability to build out and maintain your systems - Impact on supply-chain systems View the Call for Participation <https://s.usenix.org/acton/ct/2452/s-03de-2110/Bct/l-1998/l-1998:cd1/ct1_...
