It took a little longer than expected, but we now have a schedule. Also, we have added Grant Gillard as a speaker. This is a really, really solid panel of speakers who will provide a great deal of very practical information. I don't think you can find many regional conferences that will have this sort of content, particularly for $30 a person with food included. We are trying to make this worth a a trip to Tulsa, and I think we have succeeded.
You will be able to pre-register online soon.
