This event is one of my favorite IPRA activities. When I attended last year, I heard so many attendees say to me that they choose to attend this event annually because it has all the educational benefits of conference without the big crowds. If you are attending this year, I look forward to seeing you, and if you have never been, I hope you join us next year. There are three levels: first year, second year, and graduate.
