Thank you to everyone who attended APCO’s Annual Conference & Expo and thank you for making it one of our best conferences yet! Attendees and exhibitors from all over the world gathered in Las Vegas last week to earn CEUs, visit the expo and network with their peers. They were not disappointed as APCO 2018 offered more than 100 educational sessions  and over 275, not to mention the incredible keynote speakers and social events like the APCO Block Party at Freemont Street and the Connect & Celebrate Dinner with Louie Anderson. Be sure to check out the photos on Flickr and Instagram. We hope to see you again next year in Baltimore for APCO 2019!

The Food for Thought Luncheon held on the last day of APCO 2018 recognized newly certified agencies, strong APCO chapters and a "comedian-therapist" who explained how people could better understand their co-workers.

APCO 2018 concluded with a look back and a look ahead as awards for individual service were delivered, the outgoing president discussed the association’s accomplishments and the incoming president laid out her plans for the year to come.
