2012 Conference: Selected Procedings

One of our favorite "complaints" about our annual conference is that there are too many great sessions happening at the same time. We also recognize that not everyone who wants to come to the conference is able. To address this, we've created brief recaps of 27 of the 48 sessions at the 2012 conference.
