We Learned Last Night...

 

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen travel delays, our closing speaker, Dr. Marty Becker will not be able to join us in Palm Springs. Marty asked us to let everyone know how disappointed he was to not be here at the conference. Marty has told us that he's already marked the dates down and plans to join us next year in Houston for sure.

 

Because of this, the conference will conclude after the 11:30 AM breakout sessions.
