2017 Industry Forum

Our 2017 Forum has been universally hailed as our best informational event ever! For those who missed the event, or are looking to get more out of the presentations, please see below. We have downloadable pdfs of the Powerpoint handouts for those speakers who had presentations. Again, many thanks to the countless hours spent putting together some very useful, and time information for our industry!
