Incredible Lineup
Each year we assemble an incredible array of presenters with expertise and experience in a variety of fields, workplaces, and locations. Our lineup features folks involved in direct practice and policy.
I am deeply grateful for this whole conference. Not only was it so needed and well timed but I was just so impressed by how conference offerings and structure modeled the principles of inclusion and equity the conference was meant to address.
