Based on feedback from the Spring 2024 Conference, the conference is beginning earlier on day 1 with check in and breakfast starting at 8:30am followed by the welcome session at 10:00am. Following the closing of the first day of conference at 5:00pm, a Cocktail Party will be held from 7-9pm aboard the William D Evans sternwheeler at the Bahia Resort. The second day’s sessions will begin at 8:50am and end at 4:30pm.

The conference committee and leadership team hope these adjustments and earlier release of the schedule provide additional planning time for travel. We have amazing panel topics this conference and know we will all be provided with great insight and knowledge from this wonderful community of professionals.
