More cowbell! This 45-minute networking event will be broken into two timed sessions. First, you’ll connect with colleagues at the regional level, then you’ll dig deep into hot topics with peers who work in the same role as you. We’ll wrap up with simple steps to continue the conversations started at the conference.
