At the 2017 Conference in Cincinnati, we announced that we were going to go to an ‘every other year’ conference.  But many of you seemed disappointed.

So for the past several months we have been trying to come up with a way to enjoy most of the benefits of a ‘full conference’, but without all the work of a ‘full conference’.  A couple weeks ago, someone mentioned doing a ‘mini conference’ on a cruise ship.  So we polled a few of you, and it seemed almost everyone liked the idea.

So countless phone calls and emails later, WE ARE HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE OUR:
