Its to bad. I from central Maine and it takes 3 1/2 hours to get there. So the Jam sessions are out and with no work shops I don't think the expo will work either. Last year was my first year in convincing my PTO to do this and I had 2 or 3 others convinced of the benefits of the conference. I don't think I can get them to go now.
Massachusetts has our JamSession (morning session and night session) in September.
And Mass. also has our new EXPO in the Spring. That's going to be pretty neat.
But you're right -- no Conference & Expo combined for the Bay State.
Some of these changes are allowing us to reach more new areas than ever before. We'll be in Orlando, New Jersey, Hartford, Sacramento and DC-area this year for the first time ever.
