Descripción del evento:

The world is an uncertain place right now.  Live events are cancelled and people are being forced to stay away from their family and friends. Let’s come together as a community to learn, connect, and thrive during a time when in-person conferences aren’t possible and community is more important than ever!

 I’m going to try to make this conference as BIG as possible, and already have a small handful of industry leaders onboard. REGISTER to get updates as more presenters are added and details become available. And don’t forget to SHARE this with others so we can help spread the value and connection as far as possible!
