Workshops
We’ve added even more workshops this year to help ensure there’s something for everyone! From business and industry professionals to visiting state officers, there are a variety of great opportunities to learn and connect. Space in the convention center is limited, and we want to provide the best possible environment for all members to learn and grow. The most up to date information can be found on the convention website and linked here.
