Will Lindsay be coming to Vancouver island in the future? As some of us are unable to come over to the main land. Bobbie
First and most important, this conference is available online as well as in person! So you can see her presentation even if you can’t make it to the mainland. Secondly, we are looking at a spring conference in a different location, although I can’t say yet who the presenters will be. Hope you can virtually attend in October!
