In reply to Todd Lamb:

Todd,

We appreciate your efforts to drive Emerson Exchange participation within your Business Unit. Currently we have 43 total abstracts submitted for the Emerson Exchange Anaheim conference and at this time last year we had 30 abstracts, which is a 43% increase over last year. With this rate, we are expecting another record number of abstract submissions.

The Presentations Committee will begin reviewing the abstracts after Call for Presentations closes on March 19. Regrettably, we are not able to release information on the submitted abstracts since this is proprietary information and the Board of Directors strives to protect the privacy of authors whose abstracts may not be accepted. A list of approved abstracts will be posted to the Emerson Exchange website (www.EmersonExchange.org) in late April, after all abstracts have been reviewed. In the meantime, I encourage you to work internally with your Business Unit to determine who has submitted an abstract. Let us know if you have additional questions about the abstract process.

Best regards, Andi
