Greetings, all,
I recently heard of a conference that might be of interest to some of you. A colleague of mine presented at this conference last year in Scotland and said it was awesome. She was struck by how few people from the U.S. attended and she thought we should get the word out here in the US. So I’m sharing the info below. If anyone in our community has attended, would you post about your experience?
