Selected Proceedings from the 2012 Conference Now Available
One of our favorite "complaints" about our annual conference is that there are too many great sessions happening at the same time. We recognize that not everyone can attend the conference every year, and no one can attend every single one of our great sessions. To meet member requests, we have captured recaps of more than half of the sessions from the 2012 conference. Recaps are available for purchase today!
