I am so excited about going to the IRIS National Convention in two weeks!! I have heard from some of you who are going, and others I'm still wondering about. I think one of the best things about this event will be getting to meet some of my AR buddies!
Non IRIS members are allowed to go this year, so if you are looking for a national stager/redesign convention, why not go to this one? There is still time to register! The conference dates are October 8-10, but my team will be there from the 6-11th! Maybe we should take one of those nights and have a big AR party!
If you are planning on going, post your name below and maybe we can get something together so we can all get together! Maybe it will also encourage other AR members to come also.... who doesn't love a party?
