“This year we had over 500 people attend the conference, participating in over 70 workshops over the course of the two days! It was a wonderful event and we are grateful to all of the keynote speakers, presenters, partners, sponsors and especially to all who came out to participate, to share your knowledge and skills and support one another in the work we are doing nationally and internationally! We look forward to seeing you all again in 2017!”
