We hope you took away some new learnings, made connections, and left inspired for the upcoming summer season!

 Feedback is incredibly important to us (and to our workshop presenters).

•  If you haven’t already done so, please take a few minutes to fill out the overall conference evaluation here(or by opening your Guidebook Guide on the app to the Overall Evaluation page) by Friday, April 12.
•  You also still have time to complete session evaluations. To get to them, just navigate to the session you attended on the Guidebook schedule (accessible through the app or the web version) and click on Educational Session Feedback under the Forms heading. Your feedback will be automatically linked to that specific session. Please fill out an evaluation for each session you attended.

 Many of our presenters shared some great handouts with attendees. You can also access them through the app or the web version of the Guide. When you navigate to a specific session, you should find any documents under the PDF or URL headings.
