Wondering why you should attend? Here is what previous attendees have shared . . .
The 2012 conference was my first conference and I am so glad I came! . . . Such great insights during the networking sessions and at the dinners will make a big difference in my success. Of course, the line up of speakers was fantastic and I'm developing my action items . . .
Kristin S. Johnson, CARW, CCMC, COPNS, CG3C, Professional Direction
The knowledge I gained “liberated” me from some old fairly rigid ideas, freeing me to experiment and make unique design and content decisions based on individual circumstances. I have never been part of a professional association that is so willing to share information, trying to make us all better writers for our clients. Not a minute was wasted. And what a great group of people! Conference is fabulous!
